Key points:
- From 2027, Castelli will design the classification jerseys for all cycling races and events organised by Unipublic and A.S.O., including the La Vuelta and La Vuelta Femenina.
- The agreement covers a total of 27 events, including all the mass-participation cycling events associated with A.S.O.’s professional races.
- The new partnership, celebrated today with a bike ride in Paris alongside ambassadors including Valentin Paret-Peintre, marks a reunion between Castelli and the Tour de France, with the Italian brand having previously produced the Maillot Jaune from 1989 to 1994.
The 2027 season will usher in a new era with the launch of a partnership between Castelli and Unipublic - Amaury Sport Organisation. The brand will become the Official Technical Clothing Partner of all cycling races and challenges organised by Unipublic and A.S.O., including the La Vuelta and La Vuelta Femenina. All classification jerseys at these events will be designed and produced by Castelli, which will also produce jerseys for events such as L’Étape du Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix Challenge and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Challenge, which together attract more than 80,000 participants every year.
Steve Smith, Global Brand Manager at Castelli: “This is a truly historic moment in Castelli’s 150-year history. For a global cycling brand, producing the Maillot Jaune of the Tour de France is the greatest honour there is, not to mention the jerseys for other major races such as Paris-Nice and La Vuelta. Returning to the Tour de France feels like coming home. We are incredibly proud of our heritage at the race, but even more excited about helping shape its future by equipping the next generation of champions with apparel that pushes the boundaries of speed, comfort and style.”
Javier Guillén, General Director of La Vuelta: “We are delighted to welcome Castelli as the Official Technical Clothing Partner of La Vuelta. Castelli has a long-standing heritage in professional cycling and a strong reputation for innovation, quality and technical excellence. Their expertise will ensure that the riders wearing La Vuelta’s leader jerseys have access to the highest standards of performance and comfort throughout the race.”
