Once more in 2022, after a debut in 2021, Intimissimi Uomo will be the top sponsor of the Maglia Bianca. The white jersey is awarded to the best young rider at the Giro d’Italia and has been designed by Castelli and made with a technical fabric produced by Sitip.
Last year saw Egan Bernal, holder of the Maglia Bianca, dominate and also win the Maglia Rosa of the Giro d’Italia.
Italian brand Intimissimi Uomo is a specialist in men’s underwear. From this year, the company will also be the Official Underwear partner of the Giro d’Italia, with its garments, including boxers and white cotton jerseys, part of a campaign in Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera for the month of May.
The Maglia Bianca for the best young rider is the newest among the Giro’s four iconic jerseys. The young rider classification was established in 1969, as a ranking dedicated to the youngest professionals in the race.
For a brief period in 1973 and 1974, its leader was awarded a bracelet. Since 1976, a white jersey has been used to distinguish the Maglia Bianca winner from other riders.
