Castelli #Giro Grande Toro 1949
The Grand Depart of the Giro d’Italia will be from Torino (Turin), 75 years after the Superga air disaster, where the “Grande Torino” football team, and consequently the majority of the Italian national football team, lost their lives. The #Giro Grande Toro 1949 preserves their memory.
Featuring an Italian flag badge, the names of the dead on the front and a tribute on the back, this shirt remembers the tragic past of the town, while celebrating its current joyful role as a Giro host. A centre of culture, known for its architecture and stunning alpine skyline, Torino will certainly ensure the cyclists get a good send-off.
Based on the popular Competizione model, this jersey is cut to fit all shapes and sizes, with a good deal of stretch and impressive moisture management capabilities that will keep you comfortable all day long. Finished with three rear pockets and silicone elastic at the waistband, it’s a useful, versatile piece of kit with a strong message.
