Cannondale, Rapha, and POC joined forces with Palace Skateboards to make the Education First (EF) Pro Cycling team’s 2020 Giro d’Italia kit — and turned some heads in the process.
Editor’s note: This article was originally published on Bikerumor.
Now, The Pro’s Closet will raffle off one of the few original Cannondale SuperSix EVOs from the race. The bike is the grand prize, and the matching Rapha team jersey and POC team helmet go to the runner-up.
What’s on the Block? Cannondale x Palace x EF Pro Cycling Gear
James Whelan rode the bike for EF Pro Cycling in 2020. While he crashed in stage 2, the results for EF and the Cannondale SuperSix were a lot better. New signing Ruben Guerreiro won the blue jersey as the race’s best climber. And Whelan’s bike looks to be tip-top now — down to the brash cartoon duck insignia from Palace.
The story goes that the team developed the kit to stand out in the peloton without leaning on its usual purple-and-pink loadout. Seeking distinction from the overall leader’s pink jersey, they put together the gaudy design, which Bikerumor previously called “completely bonkers.”
