The Spring Classics have reached their conclusion, and that can mean only one thing: Grand Tour season is near. The Classics are undoubtedly stern tests of riders' cunning and strength, but nothing compares to the three-week battles that take place in Italy, France, and Spain.

Italian cycling brand Santini has again signed on to provide the official leaders jerseys for the 98th Giro d’Italia. This year's Pink, Blue, Red and White jerseys for the various leaders' classifications were designed in collaboration with men’s fashion brand Lebole.

Santini has dedicated the Capsule Collection to the Maglia Nera, a symbolic prize awarded between 1946 and 1951 to the last placed rider. There was genuine competition for the Maglia Nera, and riders would go as far as hiding in bars, behind hedges, and puncturing their own tyres to take the ‘win’.
