Vuelta secures new kit partner

Italian clothing production company Santini Maglificio Sportivo has entered into a partnership with Unipublic, which operates the Vuelta a España cycling race.

The deal will run for five years, from 2017 to 2021.

Santini Maglificio Sportivo will provide the red jersey for the leader of the general classification; the polka dot 'king of the mountain' jersey; the green jersey for the points classification leader; and the white jersey for the leader of the combined classification.

The company will also supply a line of products, merchandise and collection of sports clothes for fans to purchase.
