Vuelta a España 2021 jerseys, the four official Santini jerseys that will be worn by La Vuelta classification leaders were unveiled today in Madrid. Aside from the leader jerseys, which are made from recycled fabrics, five special kits celebrating five of the Spanish grand tour’s most iconic stages and the two official CERATIZIT Challenge by La Vuelta jerseys were also presented.
The ongoing pandemic has forced the organizers of the Granfondo Stelvio Santini to reschedule the 2021 edition until Sunday, September 12th. Santini Cycling Wear and organizers Unione Sportiva Bormiese took the decision to postpone the event for three months to guarantee a safer environment for cyclists and volunteers alike.
Selle Italia launches Flite Boost kit Carbonio Superflow “MVDP edition”: a unique saddle signed by Mathieu van der Poel, the rising Dutch star of professional cycling.
Globally, only one in 50 new cars were fully electric in 2020, and one in 14 in the UK. Sounds impressive, but even if all new cars were electric now, it would still take 15-20 years to replace the world’s fossil fuel car fleet.
The emission savings from replacing all those internal combustion engines with zero-carbon alternatives will not feed in fast enough to make the necessary difference in the time we can spare: the next five years. Tackling the climate and air pollution crises requires curbing all motorised transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possible. Focusing solely on electric vehicles is slowing down the race to zero emissions.
Selle Italia introduces the Flite Boost Pro Team version at Strade Bianche 2021, one of the Italian brand’s most renowned and loved saddles. The new Flite Boost Pro Team Kit Carbonio Superflow is a concentrate of technology: carbon rail with a 10-millimeter increase in length, hard-wearing Fibra-Tek cover material, and with Superflow’s extreme lightness and cutout. A saddle chosen by professionals, now also available for amateurs.

The official 2021 Granfondo Stelvio Santini jersey is a combination of Polartec Power Dry Recycled and Polartec Delta Recycled fabrics, both made from single-use PET bottles. In fact, it takes around five recycled plastic bottles to make each jersey. The latter will be available in different sizes and colors for men and women and wrapped in compostable packaging. To complete the look, Santini Cycling Wear has also created a range of coordinating cycling wear and a face mask (free in the race pack) featuring the 2021 edition graphic.
