Santini backs returning Deutschland Tour

Italian sportswear manufacturer Santini has agreed a kit partnership with the Deutschland Tour cycling event.

Santini will provide the official jerseys for this year’s event, which runs from August 23-26, as well as the 2019 edition. The company will also launch a special-edition range of clothing ahead of the event.

The Deutschland Tour is a new event and is being organised by Amaury Sport Organisation. ASO has a 10-year agreement in place with the German Cycling Federation (BDR) with the aim of relaunching the Deutschland Tour as a top-tier event.

Santini also supplies kit for UCI WorldTour cycling team Trek-Segafredo, whose riders include Germany’s John Degenkolb (pictured).
