If you can't tear yourself away from Pogacar's pink that splits crowds of fans on Monte Grappa, from Tiberi white, from Milan's cyclamen dart or from the blue hope worn by Pellizzari (courtesy… of Tadej), then our catalog Castelli this is what you needTwo weeks (16 days) have passed since the end of the Giro and there are still two more to go for the Tour, the best way to characterize the summer on a bike is to fish in the collection Castelli inspired by the Giro d'Italia.
The Fonzaso company that produced the official shirts has in fact included in its catalogue a series of kits inspired by the 2024 Giro d'Italia rankings, but also by the most iconic locations that characterised it. For mens and for womens. So if in addition to the aesthetics of the garment these shirts reawaken in the enthusiast the memory of that day, wearing it while carrying the bike, the effort and one's dreams around on other roads can be a good cure for nostalgia.
The shirts… real ones
So let's try to browse the catalogue together, starting from #Giro 107 Race Jersey: the real oneIt is offered in the classification colours (pink, cyclamen, white, light blue), with the addition of a black that recalls the record of the last in the standingsAn unofficial record that this year belonged to Alan Riou, a 27-year-old Frenchman from Arkea-B&B Hotels, who achieved it with a deficit of almost seven minutes from the second-to-last.
The shirt is packaged with Air_O Stretch fabric for breathability, comfort and elasticity and is designed to achieve maximum aerodynamic efficiency between 30 and 55 km/h. Since we are approaching the hot season, it is recommended matching with Bolero SS underwearThe shoulder design has an equally aerodynamic construction with the necessary fabric orientation.

The zipper is from the YKK® Vislon® range and features the iconic Amore Infinito puller. The retail price is 129,95 euros.
The iconic jerseys

The other jerseys, then. Those inspired by the milestones: Rome, Monte Grappa, Naples, Big Bull, Stelvio, Oropa, with graphics that recall Pantani's 1999 (which was pink, however), but without the sponsors' writing. They cost €89,95 and retain the features of a match jersey, albeit with less extreme standards.
