Let's meet at L'Étape Parma

The event, already at its debut in 2024, had hit the mark thanks to the high organizational standards of Extragiro and the evocative formula that promises to provide an authentic Tour de France experience, being the official granfondo. 

For this stage Nalini presents itself in a double role, as title sponsor of the NRS circuit and as technical supplier of l’Etape Parma, having designed the 2025 celebratory jersey, in the men’s and women’s versions. 

“Choosing to collaborate on the creation of an event like L’Etape Parma - said the general manager Giuseppe Bovo - was natural for us: the route develops in a territorial context of great charm and still little known, we liked the idea of ​​being part of a project that allows you to discover still undiscovered corners of our country. We believe a lot in granfondo and L’Etape Parma is a well-organized and very interesting event and for us it is important to be alongside races like this.

For the 2025 edition of Etape Parma, we have created with our designers a unique model, exclusively for the event, with a race fit and important technical characteristics. The jersey is designed for the most expert granfondo riders and designed to perfectly face the seasonality of this period; in fact, the fabrics used are highly breathable, but not too light.

No less important is the green choice of the materials used: the jersey, in fact, is built by reusing fabrics to give them new life, because we have always supported the concept of circular economy and ours is a commitment constant towards sustainable and responsible production.”

Paola Forzina, sales director for Italy - Nalini, adds to Bovo's words:

“The choice to create a jersey exclusively for Etape Parma in both versions, men's and women's, is because in Nalini we have always been convinced that it is important to highlight women's cycling, creating garments with a fit specifically designed for the female physique. 

We are a company with a 80% female staff. This leads us to be particularly careful to different needs.  We also promote this message thanks to the NRS Ladies project, the team of  women cyclists that will be involved in the second road stage of the circuit Nalini Road Series in Parma."

In the brand’s exhibition area, inside the expo village, it will be possible to meet the staff and view the new summer collection. 

The NRS Ladies will also participate in the race, wearing Nalini garments: Stefania Andriola, a well-known TV personality and team leader of the all-female team, Sabrina Schillaci, athlete and coach and Elisa Benedet, granfondo cyclist with 16 years of racing under her belt.
