Used 2008 BMC Pro Cycling Team Jersey Assos Small

2008 Assos Team BMC Squadra Mondo Jersey

BMC is not only a renowned Swiss bicycle manufacturer, but is also sponsors one of the most exciting up and coming teams in American and European cycling. Unlike many US-based teams, they aren't just content with results in races like Redlands and Philly week. Rather, they're eager to get in the fray in Europe, which is why you've seen them at epics like the Tour of Romandie and Tour de Suisse. And the Swiss connection to the team goes beyond BMC bicycles. Assos sponsors the team as well, and they've bucked the trend of splashing corporate sponsors all over the team kit, BMC and Assos sport what is easily the most stylish jersey on either side of the Atlantic. Aside from the jersey's clean good looks, the usual Assos quality permeates every stitch and weave.

This Team BMC jersey has the same fantastic cut and breathability as the beloved Assos Six Day jersey. It uses Micro-Cell fabric for excellent wicking and ventilation, and it comes with the same full zipper, three back pockets and one zippered pocket as the Six Day jersey. Assos patterns their jerseys to form-fit your body when you're reaching for the bars, not when you're standing up in front of the mirror -- so when you're riding there will be almost no excess fabric flapping in the wind.

By the way, what does "Squadra Mondo" mean? It's a concept developed by Andy Rihs, founder of BMC. No single sponsor has be burned worse, or burned more often, by doping in the pro peloton than Rihs. His motivation for sponsoring race teams is different for it: "Our mission [with Team BMC] is to race bikes for fun, to promote the joy of cycling. The results will come with our passion for the sport. We are cycling for everyone who loves cycling, who have not lost the pure joy and pleasure of the sport." Who are these people who love cycling? They're part of the Squadra Mondo -- the "World Team" of fans who maintain a love of the sport despite it all.
