TORTOUR is a famous non-stop-bike-race in Switzerland with start and finish in Schaffhausen. The race is composed of 17 stages with a total distance of 1000 km and an altitude gain of 14500 m. After 33hrs of race, winner of the 2014 edition in the cat.Team2 was the team STOLZ RENNMANNSCHAFT. In the picture on the podium MARTIN BRUNNER(left, wearing his Leggera Grimpeur)and THOMAS BOCHET(right, wearing his Zero Polkadot). Herzliche Kongratulationen!

I love you Bianca! Bianca is a fantastic cycling sock I designed some years ago. I found at the velodrome in Oerlikon an old sample made from a very thin and elegant wool yarn, ribbed and made by a French manufacturer.
I loved it, so iconic and legendary, so classic and minimal. I decided immediately to start a modern production using a fantastic high-performance fibre(Polipropilene)made in Italy with the same classic ribbed design, no logos, no funky colours and in a decent lenght. The result is great, 25gr. of pure freshness, lightness, breathability and romaticsm.
