To celebrate its newfound status as the Official Partner of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Castelli has unveiled its inaugural Maillot Jaune Collection, stepping into its role as custodian of A.S.O.’s popular line.

The Maillot Jaune represents far more than a leader’s jersey—it is a symbol of ambition, perseverance, and the pursuit of something extraordinary. Bringing A.S.O.'s vision for the collection to life, Castelli has applied its decades of experience and technical expertise to make that legend accessible, allowing the cycling community to forge a personal connection with the Tour’s rich history and bring a piece of it to their own rides.

The lineup represents the pinnacle of cycling chic and performance, defined by premium fabrics, meticulous construction, and exquisite detailing.

Heritage and craftsmanship

Reflecting the collection's focus on detail, every garment in the Maillot Jaune Collection comes with a host of subtle, intentional flourishes. These include bespoke elastic grippers adorned with differing stage profiles, custom zipper pulls, and wider internal detailings that make putting on the kit feel like a sense of occasion.

This devotion to detail builds on a legacy forged decades ago on cycling's greatest stage. Castelli previously produced the official Tour de France leaders' jerseys from 1989 to 1994, worn to historic victories by champions such as Greg LeMond and Miguel Indurain. Reuniting with A.S.O. brings that shared history full circle, bridging iconic heritage with modern fabric technology.

Castelli’s Product Line Manager Andrew Montgomery said: “Returning to the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is an immense honor for everyone at Castelli. The Tour represents the absolute pinnacle of athletic achievement, and to wear a leader’s jersey on that stage is a dream only a few cyclists will ever fulfill.

“Working in partnership with A.S.O., our goal for the Maillot Jaune Collection was to capture everything that makes those jerseys so special and make that emotion accessible to the rest of the cycling world. Our Classement jerseys bring the speed and performance of their race-worn equivalents in understated, elevated designs you'll be proud to wear every day. Our Échappée line shares that same distinctive appeal, meticulously built to look fast, feel fast, and turn heads. Every garment in the collection is designed to complement each other seamlessly, letting riders carry a piece of the world’s biggest bike race into every season.”
