YOU COULD FEEL IT COMING The inspiration for this jersey came while riding Switzerland’s Fluela Pass between Davos and the Engadin Valley. The air is thin as you approach this 2383m pass, and I was pushing hard on a 230km ride. I could hear the winding engine of the supercar coming up the valley, and before it reached me I could actually feel the rumble as it approached redline. That Lamborghini Superleggera was a road-going vesion of Formula One technology, and this jersey represents the same concept. Here we are using technologies and know-how developed for the highest levels of pro racing, adapted into an extremely lightweight and aero road-going jersey. We’ve used bits of our 50g stretch woven fabric, our ultralight and ultra-wicking Futura 50g fabric on the fronta dn sleeves, and a 3D mesh fabric liner on the back to support the pockets, and added a handy zippered key pocket for some creature comforts.
