GreenEdge Cycling has announced that Italian manufacturer, Santini, will clothe the Australian team for three yearsও, continuing the partnership with Australian cycling that dates back to 2003.

But as much as the partnership with Santini is a coup for GreenEdge, it's fဣurther endorsement of the prog𒁏ress that has been made by Australian cyclists.

Pietro Santini, the owner and founder of Santini, says, "We have witnessed with incredible admirat꧋ion the work that Australia has done in cycling."

"In the past 10-to-15 years Aust♛ralia has p⭕roduced many incredible athletes and many more young riders that have the talent to be real champions.

"For a good part of these years we have partnered Australian cycling through the national team and we know what the🦂y can achieve and we've found the same focus, dedication and commitment in the GreenEdge team."

For ꦯShayne Bannan, GreenEdge General Manager, the q✃uality of the clothes Santini will supply to the team is the key to the partnership.

"Our riders can spend more than seven hours 🌞in their 🔜cycling apparel in the big races so being comfortable is critical," he said.

"Santini has spent 45-years making cycling clothing for professional teams all over the world but continue to invest heavily in research and development, which will ensure our riders ♏have the best clothing in the peloton.

"Another important consideration for us is that Santini is made in Italy. With our base in Varese, Italy, this gives us great flexibility to work with them in order to✃ meet our nee🐈ds to develop the right garments."

This announcement comes just weeks after GreenEdge conf🌼irmed a multi-million dollar, three-year; deal with high performance bicycle and accessories brand Scott Sportꦓs.

According to Santini, the rationale behind this foreign support of GreenEdge cycling is because of th🔯e team's global appeal.

"Although we're an Italian company our products are sꦺold everywhere in the world. Our image and our vision are international and we need an international team to act as a vessel to communicate our values," Santini said.

If successful in its bid to join the UCI WorldTour, Gree✃nEdge will mark history by becoming the first Australian ✱team to do so.
