The Jersey (2021)

The cycle jersey is an iconic symbol of the greatest teams and winning riders in sporting history. In this documentary ex-pro racer, Adam Blythe explores its history, from its basic beginnings to today's extraordinary feat of technical engineering and design. Nowadays, a cycling kit can literally be the difference between winning and losing a race in terms of performance. From woollen fibres to the sleek, skin-hugging lycra, how has its evolution shaped the cycling world? With exclusive access to one of the world’s finest collections and interviews with the founder of Rapha and Castelli’s top designers, this documentary is a colourful celebration of the jersey.
