Alpecin - Premier Tech: cycling clothing

Alpecin-Premier Tech, the Belgian spirit behind so many victories

For Belgians, cycling is a religion, and the Alpecin-Premier Tech team is a shining example of that. The Antwerp-based squad, in fact, represents the very best of this sport, combining competition, fair play, and a forward-looking approach to young talent. Alongside the two main sponsors that make up the team name, there are also fruitful partnerships with Canyon for bikes and Kalas for racewear. Among the many riders in the Belgian roster, the star is Mathieu Van der Poel, the flying Dutchman capable of winning on road, in cyclocross, and in MTB. Three editions of Paris-Roubaix and Giro of Flanders, two editions of Milano-Sanremo and Amstel Gold Race, a Strade Bianche: these are just some of the races won by Van der Poel with Jersey Alpecin-Premier Tech. But the Dutch champion has also worn yellow at the Tour de France and pink at the Giro d'Italia.

The team’s official apparel

Jersey and Bib shorts: these are the truly essential items on the bike. For the Alpecin-Premier Tech team, Kalas designed them with a special focus on design and performance. Available in men’s and women’s versions, the short-sleeve jerseys are ideal for the warmer season. But when temperatures drop, the warmer long-sleeve version comes into play. Breathability always remains at its highest, as does the fit. The same applies to the Bib shorts made by the British brand. In addition to offering outstanding grip and aerodynamic efficiency, the Kalas bib shorts feature the advanced ZOOM X Elastic Interface chamois: the perfect mix of comfort and stability. And thanks to the non-slip grippers above the knee, they do not move a millimeter, always ensuring maximum performance.

A look at the accessories

General classification rider, sprinter, breakaway specialist or domestique: there are many profiles of cyclists taking on a major giro. Whether in Italy, France, or Spain, one element always remains constant. We are talking about the water bottle that, like a walking stick for the limping, supports the athlete at decisive moments. To feel on par with Van der Poel and the other Alpecin-Premier Tech champions, you can wear on your rides the models made by Elite for the Dutch outfit. And after a long day in the saddle with friends, it is time to put on the Alpecin-Premier Tech cap made by Kalas. Catching your breath has never been so stylish.
