Santini are delighted to present the new collection of La Vuelta, one of the leading men’s road cycling races o n the UCI World Tour. With more than 80 years of tradition, La Vuelta today is close to everyone’s hearts. We share the same values and passion. An exciting event for everyone, not only for pros but for all cyclists who train with passion and challenge themselves. For Santini the partnership with La Vuelta is more than just a race, it represents our continuing contribution for a new chapter in cycling history.

The Vuelta Espana may be the toughest Grand Tour of the 2018 season. Unforgiving team and individual time trials, explosive, high-altitude finishes, and dozens of other challenges face the riders. The Vuelta is a race that can break a champion or launch the career of an up-and-comer. But as tough as the racecourse is, the country of Spain provides a backdrop rich with beauty, culture, and history.

The opening time trial is held on the colorful streets of Malaga, birthplace of Pablo Picasso. The race then passes through stunning Almeria on the Mediterranean Sea, across the picturesque Basque Country, and winds its way over the Pyrenees in Catalonia. It culminates with a finale in Madrid, crossing the Puerta del Sol central square, location of the Kilometre Cero plaque, the point from which distances on all roads in Spain are measured.

The 2018 Vuelta inspired us to create cycling kits that celebrate both the toughness of the race and the beauty and history of Spain. We started by selecting the best-in-class fabrics to build body-hugging, technical, race-ready garments. We then put the canvas of those kits in the hands of our design team, led by cycling's most thoughtful designer and storyteller, Fergus Niland. The result is a breathtaking collection of leader's jerseys and inspirational commemorative kits that reflect the race we all love so much and the people and places that serve as its backdrop.

The final stage of La Vuelta 2018 traverses Madrid, crossing the Puerta del Sol central square, location of the Kilometre Cero plaque, the point from which distances on all roads in Spain are measured. The 2018 Kilometre Cero kit builds on the color palette of our 2017 version, but this time we incorporated the mathematical symbol for zero as a graphic influence. The logotype is based on the Tio Pepe sign and 'KM Cero' monument.

Handsome kit!

These are some exquisitely beautiful bib shorts. The straps are breathtaking and super comfortable. Way more comfortable than the far pricier top-of-the-line Castelli shorts I've been testing out. I do have a qualm: the "griper" at the bottom of the hem tends to role up. As a result, the shorts themselves tend to creep up uncomfortably and I find myself constantly having to tug them back down during my rides. Such a shame as I love the look. I acknowledge this "creep" issue may be my fault as I purchased a size M and maybe should have gone with a L as I'm 6' 2 1/2" and 167 lbs. However, I feared that with the larger size the bottom of the legs wouldn't lay flat against my thighs. As it is, that happens with the M when I pull them down to get a more comfortable feel.

Useful Non-Slip - Intensive silicone spots attached equally at the 5cm width hem, preventing cuffs from riding up. You will never feel tight or chafe at any time compared with regular Santini bands. Breathable Feeling - Fabric is made of new type of materials that sweat well in the high heat of cycling. Elastic fibers are engineered to Four-way stretch when moving; it gives you the sense of permeable and fresh.
