Vuelta a España
Research Scientist Kit

Discover every single item used by podium-winner Tom Pidcock and his Q36.5 Pro Cycling teammates- from Gregarius Pro jersey to Dottore bib shorts to prototype Dottore Clima skinsuits to our soon to be released “Condom” rain jersey – in their history-making participation at the 2025 Vuelta a España.

Dottore Pro Skinsuit

Following the successful introduction of our iconic Dottore Pro bib shorts to the team in January, a request was made by the team to integrate the Dottore bib shorts into their race suit in order to continue to benefit from the increased comfort, stability and muscular support of the Dottore in-race. The result, launched for the Giro d’Italia in May was out Dottore Pro Skinsuit which combines Dottore Pro bib short leg panels with our Gregarius Clima jersey (plus a few other special team-only features)…

Unique Pro Shoes

Our ground-breaking racing shoe, officially launched in May 2025, continues to be the preferred “foot weapon” of choice for our riders thanks to its marketing leading low stack height, extra wide metatarsal area, exception stability and rigidity thanks to its handcrafted carbon fiber sole and – last but not least – its exceptional breathability guaranteed by its sock-construction which eliminates the use of a traditional tongue and, in its place, offers a ventilated mesh fabric.

Rain Shell Aero Jersey

Known within the team as the “Condom” for its perfectly contoured and creaseless fit, the Aero Rain Shell Jersey was first prototyped on the basis of a special request for Tom Pidcock for the Northern Classics and was issued to the entire team in May and again in July after continuous improvements to fabric and fit. Further details will be available with the release of the jersey to the public in November 2025.

Dottore Clima Skinsuit

Engineered specifically for the Vuelta a España to achieve the optimal compromise between aerodynamics and thermoregulation in extreme heat, the Dottore Clima skinsuit finetunes existing and upcoming fabric and construction technologies from our Dottore Clima range together special features such as a strikingly oversized zip for durability and ease of use. Its superior performance can be noted in photo after photo of the group of favourites on mountain finishes in which Tom Pidcock remains the only rider with his skin suit fully zipped up. It was the most used item by Q36.5 Pro Cycling during the Vuelta a España.

Rain Shell Jacket

Identical to our inline Rain Shell Jacket (with the exception of external pocket configuration required for Professional race use), the Rain Shell Jacket is appreciated by the riders of Q36.5 Pro Cycling for exactly the same reason as amateur riders: exceptional breathability in poor conditions, sartorial Italian taped seam construction and a surprisingly low volume making it easy to pack up into your jersey pocket.

Clima Socks

A special request for team issue of our most lightweight, minimal and breathable socks was made by equipment expert David de la Cruz. The socks were used by riders in stages of extreme heat in which successful thermoregulation offered a superior performance advantage to our Aero socks.

Aero Socks

Standard race-issue for all riders, our Aero socks combine a 6mm ribbed fabric together with the zero-crease interface of our classic Ultralong socks.

Base Layers

Whilst not in daily use during the racing, the exceptional fit and ease-of-use of our famous Karl-Maier seamless base layers made them easy to integrate into outfits whenever the occasion called for their specific thermoregulatory characteristics.

Prototype Overshoes

As we continue to hone our official team supply looking to the 2026 season a large range of different aerodynamic overshoe prototypes have made their way onto the riders shoes as we look to understand the perfect mix of characteristics for different racing conditions.

Time Trial Skinsuit

The 5th stage of Vuelta a España saw Q36.5 Pro Cycling take on the Team Time Trial with exceptional results, led by expert Spanish time trialists David de la Cruz and Xabier Mikkel Azparren the team minimized the GC times losses of its leader Tom Pidcock to a handful of seconds. The team in fact came 8th, out performing 11 of 18 ProTour teams. Our skinsuits must have been fast!
