Retro Wieleroutfit Amstel Bier Red/Blue - REDTED
€79,45Cycling Outfits - Men - REDTED
A replica retro cycling outfit from our exclusive RedTed collection. A cycling jersey with an aerodynamic and clean cut design and cycling shorts with comfortable and performance fabric and chamois. All in all, the look of the past and the comfort of the present.
The RedTed Performance retro cycling jerseys have a silicone grip at the back and an elastic band with a grip at the front. Together with the elastic band at the (somewhat longer) sleeve, this ensures the jersey stays perfectly in place while cycling. The fabric is 100% polyester with a micro-hole ball pattern (breathable and lightweight).
These cycling jerseys are aerodynamic - so 'slim fit'; just a bit more tailored than the standard Retro Cycling jerseys. Because of the flatlock stitching, the jersey is sturdy and the seams do not irritate. The cycling jerseys are finished with a hidden long YKK heavy duty zip and have 3 large back pockets which are closed with an elastic band.
The RedTed Performance cycling shorts are composed of 3 different layers. The first layer is a breathable comfortable fabric (Lycra). The second layer contains an anti-shock cushion. The third layer is again a breathable fabric. Our RedTed Performance cycling shorts also contain a widened performance chamois for extra comfort and convenience. Suitable for short as well as long rides. The RedTed Performance cycling outfits are available in 8 sizes, from S till 5XL.
ATTENTION: 'Italian' sizing and 'slim fit' so be sure to choose one size bigger than your usual European dress size. CHECK OUT THE SIZING TABLE.

Retro Cycling Jersey Amstel Beer - REDTED
The Amstel Bier brewery, part of the Heineken group, has been active in the cycling world since the 1950s. They started as a sponsor of various competitions and individual riders, and in 1963 founded their own amateur cycling team. The sports director of the team was Herman Krott. In addition to leading the Amstel cycling team, Krott also founded the Amstel Gold Race in 1966. This race later developed into the only Dutch cycling classic for professionals.
Some well-known riders who have cycled for Amstel Bier are Gerrie Knetemann, Fedor den Hertog, Gert-Jan Theunisse and Leo and Teun van Vliet. Also not to be forgotten: Joop Zoetemelk, who was part of the team for no less than three years.

More than 2500 victories were recorded during their existence. A few big victories were the Olympia's Tour in 1964 and the Dutch Championship in 1976.
In November 1987, the Amstel amateur cycling team stopped. The cycling team has therefore existed for almost 25 years. In the same year, a book was also published about the history of the Amstel cycling team, called “Rrrang op het kantje”.

Of the 140 amateurs who cycled at Amstel during the entire period, 60 ended up working as professional cyclists. Herman Krott himself was still the course director of the Amstel Gold Race until 1995. He was then succeeded by his own former rider Leo van Vliet. Even at this moment the team and its sports director Krott are still being thought of, and since 1997 the Herman Krott Trophy has been awarded annually during the Amstel Gold Race.
