St. Raphael Quinquina Geminiani Women's Retro Cycling Jersey – Vintage French Team Tribute

Relive the golden era of French cycling with our St. Raphael Quinquina Geminiani Women's Retro Cycling Jersey, a tribute to one of the sport's most iconic and colourful teams — now reimagined in a feminine fit for the modern woman cyclist. The Saint-Raphaël team (1954–1964) was a pioneer in professional cycling — the first non-bike brand to sponsor a French team, breaking the mould of traditional sponsorship. At its heart was the legendary team boss Raphaël Géminiani, whose cunning, passion and racing nous built a powerhouse squad. The team's story includes a clever ruse to bring in outside sponsorship, with Géminiani claiming the team name referred to his first name to bypass the cycling federation's rules. This jersey celebrates the Quinquina era, named after the quinine-based aperitif that gave the team its iconic branding. With a bold tricolour design featuring striking red, white, and light blue colour-blocking, this is the jersey worn during the reign of Jacques Anquetil — the first rider to win the Tour de France five times, claiming three consecutive victories (1962–1964) in Saint-Raphaël colours. Designed specifically for women, this jersey offers a tailored silhouette that moves with you, combining vintage aesthetics with modern performance comfort. Featuring full front zip, three rear pockets, double printed cuffs and a silicone waist gripper, this retro jersey is crafted to capture the spirit of 1950s and 1960s cycling. Perfect for vintage cycling events, gran fondos, or simply showing your appreciation for cycling history.
