The transition to sponsoring the Pink Jersey represents a natural and prestigious evolution of a relationship founded on common values: Italianness, quality, style, and determination. For the IUMAN brand, it will be a great opportunity for visibility worldwide thanks to the television broadcast distributed globally".
Damiano Cunego: "The Pink Jersey is something that gets inside you. It's the jersey that every rider dreams of, the one that changes your career and the way you experience cycling. Being here in Verona, my city, to celebrate the 2025 launch is truly exciting. Every time I see it, I feel the same emotions as when I wore it: it's the synthesis of a result built after a long and tiring journey, determined by the strength, both physical and mental, that is needed day after day to prevail against the great opponents faced".
THE NEW PINK JERSEY
Designed and produced by Castelli, the 2025 Giro d'Italia Pink Jersey will have a texture with a world map that will contemporarily and modernly transmit the concept of internationality. The Giro d'Italia was recognized in 2024 as an Ambassador of Made in Italy in the world by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and to celebrate this extremely important milestone, the Pink Jersey (as well as the other 3 leader jerseys) this year was designed to follow the worldwide development of the brand.
Alessio Cremonese, Castelli CEO: "With over a century of innovation and collaboration with the world's best athletes, we have taken our fastest jersey to a higher level. The Aero Race 8S Jersey is the result of advanced research, representing the excellence of aerodynamic research applied to racing apparel, with a construction based on engineered materials to maximize performance. Every detail is designed to transform watts into speed most effectively. At the same time, we have taken care of comfort in every aspect, to guarantee perfect fit and support in every condition. Every seam, every fabric, every design choice has only one goal: to help riders go faster. It's the perfect synthesis of science, innovation, and passion for cycling".
