Jersey Size Chart

Nalini is an Italian clothing company. The jerseys produced are of an elite cut offering a contoured body fit. As an Australian cyclist you may find you’re used to wearing a more loose fitting jersey. To help ensure you receive a jersey that fits the way you like, select a size with the preceding information in mind. All participants have the opportunity to try on a Nalini jersey at selected Degani Bakery Cafe stores and to use the Nalini sizing chart (see below) to ensure the perfect fit is ordered.

Once you determine your ideal fit you will be required to select your chosen size when entering via our secure online entry system.

Please choose your jersey size carefully! Due to manufacturing restrictions and the specific sizing of orders, SuperSprint will not exchange jersey’s pre or post event if the incorrect size is selected!

Details regarding the project and fundraising opportunities will be confirmed in detail in our next newsletter due out in May, as well as information posted on the website.

• "I competed in the Degani Kinglake ride on the weekend & just wanted to say what a fantastically organised & scenic event it was. I’ve done a few 100+ rides over the years and this was by far the best one. The information sent via email was informative, frequent, directive & made you feel included in the event & the service during & after was just sensational – your volunteers were also lovely, its those people who make the event.
  Congratulations again on making the day so enjoyable for us. See you in 09."
