Soudal-QuickStep reveals a stunning new jersey for the Giro d'Italia, featuring a vintage cream design to honor 150 years of Castelli. This collaboration marks a significant tribute to the iconic kitmaker, which has been crafting uniforms for the team since 2022.
The cream jersey showcases the familiar sponsor logos, with prominent dark blue branding from Soudal and QuickStep on the chest. Unique Castelli logos adorn the bottom half, while a special '150' badge highlights the brand's anniversary. Castelli's global brand manager, Steve Smith, explains that the design reflects not only the brand’s history but also its ongoing evolution within cycling.
The Giro d'Italia runs from May 8-31, and while Soudal-QuickStep has yet to announce their final roster, several key riders are confirmed. However, the team will miss Spanish climber Mikel Landa due to a pelvic fracture sustained at Itzulia Basque Country. Provisional participants include Classics specialist Jasper Stuyven and sprinter Paul Magnier, alongside Ayco Bastiaens, Dries Van Gestel, and an Italian trio: Filippo Zana, Andrea Noviero Raccagni, and Gianluca Garofoli. This new jersey symbolizes both a celebration and a commitment to the legacy of Castelli.
