The Cycling Australia governing body has extended its partnership with Italian sportswear manufacturer Santini.
The new four-year deal will run through to 2020, with Santini continuing to serve as Cycling Australia’s exclusive clothing partner.
Santini has held the position since 2001 and supplies Australia’s road, mountain bike, BMX, Para-cycling and track national teams with elite performance apparel.
Santini will also provide casual wear options for athletes and uniforms for support staff. A new clothing range will be developed next year for commissaires in Australia, while Santini will serve as the jersey of choice for the National Road Series champions.
“We are extremely proud to have collaborated with Cycling Australia from 2001 to today and the renewal will foster growth in the areas of product development and technological innovation,” Monica Santini, managing director at Santini, said.
“The main focus of this sponsorship is for the research and development of top range products created exclusively for the elite Australian athletes.”
