So, the thirty days of April are going to be fun for GobikThe brand's presence in two World Tour races and in one of its major annual events will be summarized in the next 30 days.

During the days of Easter, the cycling fan will have days of passion with the Itzulia Basque Country, the second World Tour race on the Spanish calendar after the Volta.

In 2022, Gobik recovered the green color that has historically identified the race leader in an exercise in which "we have had a lot of leeway in its design, being able to contribute our grain of sand, recalling the importance of the race along with some graphic identity details that have made the brand known" notes Gino. In the last edition, Alexandr Vlasov took the garment home.
