Watch: Giro d'Italia 2016 jerseys unveiled (video)
Designs for the four classification jerseys of the 2016 Giro d'Italia are revealed in Milan

Giorgia Palmas presents the 2016 Giro d'Italia jerseys

With 99 days to go until the 99th edition of the Giro d'Italia commences on May 6, the race's organiser has unveiled this year's four classification jerseys in a ceremony in Milan.
The iconic and highly-prized pink jersey of overall Giro leader - the maglia rosa - has a simple and classic design for this year.
The three other classification jerseys have also been created by Santini with the same simple, classic design: the maglia azzurra (king of the mountains), maglia rossa (points classification) and maglia bianca (best young rider).
Each of the jerseys has the name of Italian sports paper Gazetta dello Sport emblazoned on the chest, with 'Giro d'Italia' and race motto 'Fight for Pink' printed on the collar.

His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
