Grip Garms: What the Gravel Team Will be Wearing in 2026.

From start line to podium and technical to travel: here's a lowdown on The Grip gravel team's kit.

Never sacrifice style for speed, or so the saying goes, but The Grip are blessed with both. This year the gravel team led by Mattia De Marchi will have a full suite of Café du Cycliste kit to take them from the calm before the storm through the heat of battle to the post-race glow. When the dirt flies and the dust settles, this is a selection of what they’ll be wearing…
Aero Socks: cut from breathable aero fabrics, styled just so. The perfect length, if we do say so ourselves.
Liliane: the base layer that keeps you cool and composed when everyone around you is losing their head. Superlight and fast-drying with a “second-skin” fit.
Edith gilet: featherlight wind protection for your core, for early starts, long descents and unexpected chills.
Maria: for your morning coffee and lounging around, pre-race prep and recovery time – it’s the perfect long-sleeve tee shirt.
Travel Bag: holds all you need for race day, and more. A place for everything and everything in its place. Get organised and travel in style!
