At just 23 years old, this Russian cyclist is one of the most prominent in the Gazprom-RusVelo Team, coming tenth in the Tour of the Alps and third in the Vuelta Asturias. High-tech UYN kit bolsters these extraordinary performances

Five stages, totalling 270 km in distance and over 5000 metres of ups and downs, taking in precipitous technical trails between rugged land and bright blue sea. Mitas 4 Islands, which took place from 9 to 13 April, is a unique event, even within its category: a mountain bike race across four of Croatia’s islands, with an exceedingly high difficulty rating. And it’s when athletic output is at its peak that UYN steps in, with our clothing designed to boost biker performance.

After UYN’s huge success in February 2019 at ISPO Munich - the largest sports sector trade fair - the brand is getting ready to take the stage this summer, too. From Germany to China, this Italian apparel brand is getting ready to bring high-tech innovation to the world’s largest exhibition halls.

A huge stage race demands maximum effort from cyclists, as well as from their equipment. We followed the Gazprom-Rusvelo team during the first days of the Tirreno-Adriatico (13th - 19th March) to show you a professional team “behind the scenes” at one of the largest events of the season. UYN is technical sponsor to the Russian team, providing the cyclists, directeurs sportifs and staff with kit to suit all conditions. That makes UYN a key player at every moment of the day: during races with our high-tech and ultra-performance products, and at the hotel and during transfers with tracksuits for down time.

Innovation, elegance, superior quality: Fusyon Cashmere Shiny from UYN takes functional base layers to revolutionary levels. The excellence of this new product has received huge international recognition in the form of the Plus X Award. The Fusyon Cashmere Shiny collection is a UYN preview of the Autumn/Winter 2019/2020 season releases.
