Rapha + Palace EF Pro Cycling kit on sale from Friday
It’s the kit that – love it or hate it – has had everyone talking since the moment the EF Pro Cycling team stepped onto the stage at the Giro d’Italia presentation on Thursday evening, and from Friday the striking Rapha + Palace jerseys and bibshorts will be available to buy, as well as a custom POC helmet and an extensive off-bike collection.
The full range, which is available in extremely limited quantities, will be released this Friday 9 October, with priority access given to people who joined Rapha Cycling Club on or before yesterday, ie Sunday 4 October, or who have renewed a lapsed membership since then.
Besides men’s and women’s versions of the Pro Team Aero Jersey currently being worn by EF Pro Cycling’s riders at the Giro d’Italia, there’s also a Pro Team Training Jersey version that dispenses with the team’s sponsors’ logos as well as the Palace duck that features on it.
The off-bike collection features team edition casual wear that the riders are wearing at the Giro d’Italia, including T-shirts, Long Sleeve T-shirts, Caps, Hoodies and a Palace GORE-TEX Jacket, as well as a musette.
Pricing details will be released on Friday when the collection goes live at rapha.cc – although suffice to say that judging by Rapha’s usual prices and those of Palace Skateboards, plus the limited edition aspect, it’s not going to be bargain basement prices.
Check out the gallery below for the full range.

Is it really the police's argument that dealing with careless or dangerous driving is not automatically in the public interest?...
....nothing wrong with Taiwan....
I assume the bar bag, cap and socks aren't gender specific.
We have allowed Nige to highjack yet another thread by posting unrelated guff about an individual who has no connection with the story....
Yep, that's the one
One of the captions says 'London, England' but I'm fairly certain I spotted some bus stop markings written in welsh. More lies from the Daily Mail?
The two mentions of insurance below. Noooo. Cyclists are well known for not having that devilry.
Out of interest, where did you manage to overtake him in the two minutes between pictures? Was there traffic lights just before the second pic you...
Good for you.
