The greatest sporting event in the world visits London this year.

For only the second time since the games began, the biggest names in cycling arrive here to compete for the Gold Medal of the Road Race.

The front of the shirt celebrates the event with a design inspired by the graphics that celebrated the 1948 games at Herne Hill cycle track.

The back of the jersey twins a map of that year’s road circuit with this year’s, both of which represent the capital's most popular 'club runs'.

What better way to support the cyclists in blue as they attempt to win World Champion Mark Cavendish, the top podium place.

The iconic red triangle which signals the final kilometre in a Tour de France stage ignites the sprinters and their lead-out men, jostling for the best line to finish.

A fitting motif for the back of our version of the Maillot Vert - the leading sprinter’s green jersey.  Contested for 58 years, the jersey’s central band records just 38 winners, with Erik Zabel’s name representing a record five wins and Sean Kelly’s representing four.  Mark Cavendish earned his place in 2011; immortality at 25 years and by half a wheel.

Le Géant de Provence is often cited as the most difficult climb in Europe, despite being neither the highest nor the longest of the famous Tour cols.   The gradient from Bédoin to Chalet Reynard is a relentless 9-11% and, as the vegetation disappears 6 km from the summit, the Mistral, which can blow at over 160 kph, is your greatest enemy; if the wind isn't blowing, the summer sun will scorch a rider in an inescapable 48°C blaze; by autumn, a descent can be through swirling, icy gusts. The Ventoux Jacket is a perfect companion for a climb that will be etched in your memory for ever.

Il Giro - A jersey that celebrates cycling’s second oldest Grand Tour, The Giro D’Italia.
Its central band echoes the race leader's Maglia Rosa – which in turn echoes the pink Gazetta dello Sport newspaper that first sponsored the ride in 1909.
The contrasting red and green bands on either side carry the names of every winner.
With a varied route but always ending in Milan, the Giro snakes through Dolomite climbs that are more brutal than those of any other Grand Tour.
And any Italian winner is guaranteed immortality among the tifosi, the passionate followers of the race.
Held just a few weeks before The Tour, in 100 years, only seven riders have managed to win both in the same year.

Le Tour - A jersey that celebrates the greatest sporting spectacle on earth, The Tour de France.
Its central band echoes the race leader's Maillot Jaune while those either side carry the names of every winner.
The riders cover more than 3,500 km over 21 days and tackle some of the steepest climbs of both the Alps and the Pyrenees.
Reaching the finish in Paris represents one of the sporting world's most gruelling competitive challenges, arriving in yellow represents one of its greatest achievements.

The first climb to the col of Le Tourmalet in the Tour de France took place in 1910. 

Since then it has become more popular than any other climb in both the Pyrenees and the Alps. 

Situated 19 kms from Luz St Sauveur, the climb is a formidable challenge with an average gradient of 7.4%

The untamed beauty of Le Tourmalet has tested almost every great rider over the last 100 years and as a tribute to its enduring fascination, the 2010 Tour crossed the mountain twice.

This jersey celebrates the centenary of the first Tour de France ride up Le Tourmalet.  Note:  taking into consideration the exceptional demands of the climb, the jersey is provided with deep pockets for carrying extra nutrition.

The Tour de France The King of the Mountains jersey is red and white polka dot and is worn by the best climber. This Mountain Badges jersey pays tribute to the great Alpine and Pyrenean Cols of the Tour and the Giro d'Italia. Each Col has a rich Tour history, of battles won and stages lost and provides the ultimate inspiration for the amateur cyclist.

The Tour de France is the greatest race in the world; it demands more from the competitors than any other sporting event. This jersey acknowledges the debt world cycling owes to the European Tours and, happily, the colours reflect the heroic British and French contribution over the years.

The Golden Age of cycling resonates with the names of the great Italian bicycle manufacturers - Bianchi, Legnano, Colnago and Wilier to name a few. This jersey pays tribute to these inspirational companies and the legendary riders who rode their bikes.
