Take home a very special piece of memorabilia! Vittoria Corsa PRO PINK: the limited edition pink tires from the Giro d'Italia signed by Mark Cavendish!

In the last stage of the 2023 Giro d'Italia, Rome, Mark Cavendish – who at the age of 38, after a legendary career, has already announced his retirement at the end of the season – crossed the finish line first thanks at one of his famous sprints. His bike was equipped with limited edition pink Vittoria Corsa PRO tires – in honor of and in collaboration with the Giro d'Italia.

Mark signed the tires as a sign of gratitude to Vittoria and the Laureus Foundation.

To celebrate the launch of Vittoria Corsa PRO during the Giro d'Italia, the company presented a limited edition version with pink sides, the iconic color of the Giro d'Italia.
In the final stage in Rome, an unprecedented touch of pink featured on the bikes of Alpecin-Deceuninck, Astana-Qazaqstan and EF Education–EasyPost. Rigoberto Uran, Mark Cavendish, Kristian Sbaragli and teammates raced on the coolest tires.
This limited edition version of the Corsa PRO was created under license from the Giro d'Italia and has been snapped up by all the competition lovers in the world. Only 1000 specimens were produced and they immediately became real collector's items.

Vittoria Corsa PRO is the most advanced cotton tire ever, offering unparalleled performance. It is the latest evolution of the clincher preferred by many performance-oriented cyclists, winner of countless races including: the Milan-San Remo, the Paris-Roubaix, the Tirreno-Adriatico, the Giro d'Italia and, lastly, the Tour de France.
