Santini Tour de France Coppi Alpe d'Huez Men's Cycling Tights with Suspenders – RE1065GIL2EDT

Drawing on his experience in the amateur cycling world, Santini developed a special collection for L'Étape du Tour de France. This collection is enriched with complementary accessories such as men's and women's cycling jerseys, bib tights, windbreakers, gloves, hats, and socks.

The graphic design of the tights was created under the coordination of Fergus Niland, creative director of the Santini design team, and is a tribute to the first Tour de France stage of Alpe d'Huez in 1952. It is in memory of Fausto Coppi , who won the stage that year:

• The background used photos published in the newspaper L'Équipe after Coppi's victory.

• The red and white stripes in the middle of the body represent the colours of the jersey worn by Coppi and his team in 1952.

• The inscription “ L'aigle solitaire au sommet de l'Alpe d'Huez ” (The lone eagle on the summit of Alpe d'Huez), the special logo with the dates 1952-2022 and graphic details commemorating Coppi's 70th anniversary victory have been added.
