Santini is to partner Paris-Nice and the Critérium du Dauphiné from this year and supply both events’ leaders’ jerseys. The tie-up is part of the Italian apparel company’s agreement with event organiser A.S.O., and also includes dedicated collections for both French races.
The two France-based UCI WorldTour men’s stage races have a high profile on the international pro racing calendar. Paris-Nice will see elite cyclists do battle from Yvelines to Nice, and the Critérium du Dauphiné spans the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in south-eastern France.
The 80th edition of Paris-Nice will take place between March 6-13, 2022 – while the Critérium du Dauphiné, a tough test-run a month before the start of the Tour de France, is being held from June 5-12.
This latest partnership with the two French races and Santini is part of the agreement between the Italian cycling wear company and A.S.O. (Amaury Sport Organisation). The tie-up will see Santini supply the leaders’ jerseys for Paris-Nice and the Critérium du Dauphiné in the following classifications: the yellow jersey for the overall leader, the green jersey for the points leader, the polka dot jersey for the best climber and the white for the best young cyclist.
Aside from the leader jerseys, Santini will also be launching dedicated collections for the two races. These are… ‘inspired by the atmosphere and the standout places they pass through: both will be officially unveiled to the public in early 2022.’
