Rapha Milano-Roma jersey 2018Rapha launches two new special editions
Rapha has revealed two new special editions, the Milano-Roma Collection and the Hidden Leaves Collection, a collaboration with Canyon//SRAM's Hannah Barnes.
The Milano-Roma Collection is intended as a celebration of the race of the same name. You haven't heard of it? That's not entirely surprising because it was run only twice — first in 1906 and then in 1918, so this year is the centenary of the second edition.
The 666km (414-miles) race took place over two stages: Milan to Bologna and Bologna to Rome. Both editions were won by Carlo Galetti, a three-time winner of the Giro d'Italia.
Highlights of the collection include:
Milano-Roma Merino Wool Track Jacket (£215), made in Italy using a double knitted merino wool.
Milano-Roma Jersey with Merino Arm Warmers (£160), again made from merino wool in Italy.
Milano-Roma Cotton Cap (£30), made from cotton and lined on the seams with anti-bacterial tape.
The collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.
The Hidden Leaves collection is a collaboration with Hannah Barnes of Women’s WorldTour team Canyon//SRAM and it's designed to look autumnal.
Highlights of the collection include:
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Jersey II (£120), made from a quick-drying and sweat-wicking fabric.
Hidden Leaves Long Sleeve Aero Jersey II (£140), coming soon, the long sleeve version of the Souplesse Aero Jersey.
Hidden Leaves Souplesse Bib Shorts II (£180), cut with as few seams as possible and featuring a women's seatpad.
Again the collection is available now. Go to Rapha's website for more info.

Now over 50, he's riding road and gravel bikes most days for fun and fitness rather than training for competitions.
I wonder if it will eventually get modified into the original plan, but in a few decades down the line.
The cyclist told road.cc that he has not reported the near miss to the City of London Police because “what’s the point? They’re not interested...
Yes indeed, "monging" certainly is slang for being hungover/dull/sluggish/drugged as your link says, and the etymology of that derives from the...
Never mind all that now - do people have any opinion on pet-cycling-safety?...
Just to close this one off, I ended up having to return the unit, at my expense I should add. The customer service team quickly agreed that it was...
Somewhat unsurprisingly the once proud Thunderer still has the motonormativity language:...
That's clearly far too large a vehicle to transport pets in urban areas. What about a Ram (perhaps more suited to country types though)?
Brilliant to see a company showing some love to rim brakes. I have been tempted to get some soon so may support a company offering fresh updates...
Thanks for the Merida recommendation. Ordered it from Certini and it arrived the following day. As you say, it is a little odd that you need to use...
I think the aero resurgence is simply due to the persistence of UCI's weight limit: when aero bikes are already at the limit, there is no point in...
