NALINI DRESSES INTERMARCHÉ-WANTY-GOBERT MATERIAUX FOR 2022

The riders of the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux team will continue to stand out in the peloton thanks to their new jersey signed by the Nalini brand. For its second year in the World Tour, the team led by Jean-François Bourlart has teamed up with the prestigious Mantua-based brand of cycling apparel.

The new design expresses sobriety and guarantees perfect visibility for the sponsors. The presence on the sleeves of fluorescent yellow and navy blue, traditional colors of the Belgian team, is associated with the predominance of white.

The kit produced by Nalini also pays a tribute to the champions that make up the squad. Alexander Kristoff's uniform is therefore edged, in reference to the European champion's title acquired in Herning in 2017, just like those of fellow countryman Sven Erik Bystrøm, South African Louis Meintjes, Hungarian Barnabás Peák and Estonian Rein Taaramäe, former national road race champions.

Claudio Mantovani (Nalini's owner): "We are excited to start this partnership with the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux team; a team that has grown a lot in the last years, but which maintains a strong link with its territory. It's a very important dimension of cycling and this attention to our own territorial reality and fidelity to our own origins finds us absolutely in line with the principles and efforts that our company also testifies concretely. In fact, Nalini produces almost entirely in Italy, representing a working reality of primary importance. We hope that this partnership, which sees us so similar and close in values, will be fruitful for us and for cycling in general".

Jean-François Boulart (CEO): "I am very happy about this new partnership with Nalini. The company, of which the Nalini brand is the flagship, Moa Sport, is an iconic reference point in the world of cycling as it has already dressed and continues to dress many great champions. Since the first contacts with Claudio Mantovani, this collaboration between our team and Nalini has been straightforward. We share the same values, not only professionally, and are driven by a constant desire to improve. Their designers have designed a stylish, essential outfit for us, while maintaining the colors that allow Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux to stand out in the race. I can't wait to see them in action for the first time!"
