Winning together was the motto of Mapei, and this is something David and his friends certainly did. In the colourful retro cycling jerseys of Mapei, they were not to be missed on Mont Ventoux. In doing so, they followed in the footsteps of, among others, Eddy Merckx and Jan Janssen. 

Cycling friends for life - that certainly applies to the cycling friends of Erik Ballier. This year they went cycling in Italy for the twentieth time, in beautiful Tuscany. And if you're going to cycle together in Italy for the twentieth time, you have to do it in style, of course. 

It is almost time for Giro Rosa! The most famous women's cycling tournament starts on 5 July. The cycling tournament which used to be called Giro Donne has been around since 1988. And since Giro Rosa is about to start, it seems like a good time to announce that we now have a women's line as well!

We have all had our own collection and many still do. Whether it's the classic stamps, fridge magnets, beautiful stones and shells or old posters; if you have a collection, you value it. I myself have a stone collection that I am very proud of. But I (and many other collectors) have one common enemy: lack of space. Until recently, I thought I was already cramped for space, but when I saw Tom Merckx's collection, I realised that I shouldn’t be the one complaining.

No cyclist cycles only in a cycling jersey. That would not only be chilly, but also a bit strange. That is why Retro Cycling now also has complete retro cycling outfits - with bib shorts - in its assortment. But not just any cycling outfits... historical outfits of big cycling teams like Mapei, Peugeot and Molteni are now available. Ride as if you are part of the blue armada or as a real Molteni'er like Merckx.
