Mercatone Uno - cycling figurine

Mercatone Uno: a name forever tied to one of the greatest champions in cycling history. It was in this jersey that Marco Pantani — Il Pirata — completed one of the sport's most legendary doubles in 1998, winning both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in the same season. A feat that very few riders have ever come close to, before or since.

This figurine faithfully reproduces the Mercatone Uno team jersey, crafted in the artisan tradition of Le Petit Cycliste's zamak collection. Cast in zamak — a zinc alloy prized for its durability and fine detail — each piece is hand-painted in small batches at our workshop in Roubaix, France. The result is a figurine that captures the spirit of the professional peloton of that era, with all the care of French handcraft.

• Material: zamak (zinc alloy) — robust and finely detailed
• Hand-painted at our Roubaix workshop
• Made in France, limited runs
• A must for collectors passionate about cycling history and the golden age of the peloton

A piece for those who still remember the legendary climbs of the 1990s and the era of Il Pirata.
