The Giro leader’s jersey was produced by Castelli in the past and was worn by many champions, beginning with Giovanni Battaglin, the victor in 1981, and concluding with Miguel Indurain, who won the race in 1992. In between, the jersey graced the shoulders of Saronni, Hinault, Moser and Bugno, to name just a few.

In wining, Team Sky captain Chris Froome becomes the first rider who won the Vuelta-Tour double since 1978, and only the third ever after Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978) to win the French and Spanish Grand Tours in the same year.

The Team Sky leader has now won five Grand Tours within the last five years.

Two hundred forty-seven kilometers up and down the hills, with a total elevation gain of 4,000 meters: a fierce battle is guaranteed, from the start to the finish line. Two past winners of Il Lombardia will be chasing a second victory: Italian Vincenzo Nibali (2015) and Irishman Daniel Martin (2014); unfortunately, due to an injury, the Colombian Esteban Chaves (winner of the 2016 edition) will not be in the bunch.

Castelli is dedicated to speed and performance – speed through aerodynamics and reduced weight, but also speed by helping the human body to perform at its maximum potential.
