APPROVED BY DAMIANO CUNEGO.
For Damiano Cunego is always a special emotion to be back in Santini Cycling Wear company, because he already wear the Santini jersey in the past, in many top moments of his career, from the Juniores World Championship of 1999, up to the 13 days with the blue jersey of King of the Mountains in the Giro d’Italia 2016. With the tech materials of Santini Cycling Wear, thanks to the two year partnership between the brand and the team, Damiano Cunego will ride the big final of his career wearing the Santini Cycling Wear jersey. “For me it is great to see the Santini Cycling Wear brand on my jersey, first of all for the emotions that this brand reminds to me. I’m so happy also because the jersey, for a rider, is a second skin, for many hours during all the year. You can understand how much it counts the quality and the chance to have a top level equipment. The Guard 3.0 I think will be perfect for the winter trainings, while the Santini Tono is ultralight and easy to wear, I think will be perfect for the Asian climates. After many years as a PRO I couldn’t ask anything better for the great final of my career.”
