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.

Im betting these come out of the same factory as the SG and the Grip grab gloves. Identical apart from the Silicon overlay....
Oh, and for long rides (100 miles ish) a whole pack of fig rolls and a couple of jam sandwiches normally does my fuelling.
That "old lane" as you call it, is 1) very much open, some misguided cyclists still use it. I used it once, vowed never to again and I block ride...
Confusingly there seem to be two Millicent roads which cross at approximately right angles, the one that is north-east to south-west is the one...
Indeed....
I presume that garda will be sacked shortly for showing up all of their colleagues?
"Although other neighbours were outside, nobody else had thought to alert her mum and siblings because there was no car on the drive so they didn’t...
"Aldi apologised for the blocked bike racks and said "we have spoken with the store to make sure that the cycle bays are clear for use at all times...
Interesting..... but perhaps I'll wait for the LIdl or Aldi copy and save a couple of hundred quid.....
