The Combination Points leader classification was an exciting part of the Tour, run from 1968 to 1989. For every category (GC, Climber, Sprinter) points were given to riders as they crossed the line - 1 point to first, 2 to second and so on. At the end of the Tour, the rider with the lowest total was awarded this jersey to represent the best all-rounder. The look was most iconic, perhaps, in 1985 when Greg Lemond wore the jersey as part of the legendary La Vie Claire squad. This competition could help recognize the riders who work so very hard for the eventual GC winners (see Wout Van Aert) but do not end up with a moment on the podium. It would be a joy to see the competition reintroduced, but at least we'll always have the jersey.
Classic fit for a timeless look. The jersey features a front, back and raw cut sleeves in recycled fabrics from PET and waste yarns. Breathable mesh sides promote greater ventilation on the hottest days. Equipped with a triple back pocket, with an additional zipped pocket to keep valuables safe.
The Combo bib shorts are made using a high elasticity, compact Italian fabric with power compression technology that provides medium compression without being restrictive. They are finished with a raw-cut elastic gripper around both legs and a highly breathable, reinforced mesh fabric for the braces for incredible comfort. The technological evolution of the original bestseller GIT chamois with Twist Gel core, the silicone gel that absorbs shock steadily and gradually.
High profile socks, light and breathable, to complete your look and deliver extreme comfort, high performance and hard-wearing properties with their 70% coolmax, 28% polyamide, 2% lycra blend.
