To fully understand his triumph, it is enough to reel off some numbers: Of the 66 medals available, 58 were won by athletes who competed with tyres Victoria and A DugastOf the 22 gold medals awarded at the velodrome of Saint Quentin en Yvelines, 18 bear the signature of Vittoria and A Dugast.
More than 20 national teams, including Australia, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have relied on high-performance cotton tires produced by Vittoria Group. Overall, Vittoria-wearing athletes have won at least one medal in all men's and women's disciplines..
Young riders and successful partnership
The collaboration between Vittoria and A. Dugast is very recent. The Dutch company only joined the Vittoria Group in 2021. We are talking about a world leader in the artisanal construction of cotton and silk tubulars.
The recent track world championships have confirmed that we are facing a winning collaboration, destined to reap successes in the future thanks to the reliability of the cotton tires made by the two brands. Vittoria has made the Pista Oro available to the various national teams while Dugast has made the Piste Latex available.
Pista Oro, top experience
Gold Track It was born from the experience accumulated on the track by Vittoria thanks to the models Speed Track e Track ControlThe Pista Oro features Vittoria's latest graphene-enhanced compound for maximum speed and reliability. The special version of Vittoria's innovative graphene compound technology, specifically designed to reduce the rolling resistance of tires for track applications, is coupled with the super elastic cotton carcass.
Cotton makes the carcass very flexible, allowing the tire to conform to the ground, providing a smoother ride, more efficient rolling, and better grip. To increase the overall durability of the Pista Oro, Vittoria uses Corespun yarn, a particular type of yarn composed of a combination of cotton and aramid fibers. Furthermore, the slick tread profile makes the Pista Oro the fastest tubular available for wooden tracks.
Latex slopes, speed and lightness
Piste Latex uses the most advanced technologies and the best materials to guarantee extreme speed and maximum lightness. The extremely thin tread and carcass allow for optimal acceleration and the lowest possible rolling resistance.The latex tread and cotton/silk carcass yarn offer unmatched riding performance on wooden tracks.
Ernesto Garcia Domingo, the brand's Chief Commercial Officer, commented on the many successes achieved at the recent track world championships with these words: «At Vittoria Group we work hard to make the most advanced bicycle tires on the planet. We are very happy to see so many athletes winning with these tiresWe want to thank all the national teams that have relied on Vittoria and A Dugast for their trust and their contribution to improving our products every day."
