“No other brand on the market does more for function, fit and quality than Q36.5 and as soon as you put on the Dottore jersey and shorts you can feel how unique it is. Then the real magic happens when you hop in the saddle, and realize that you’re going to have to change your definition of cycling comfort.”

“When I started Q36.5 11 years ago I could have only dreamed that one day Joao and his guests would choose to wear Q36.5. In my mind it has always been the dream of all real “corridori” to go on an InGamba tour. I personally can’t wait to be relaxed on a sofa in Lecchi with aching legs after a huge day of riding, sipping on a good glass of red wine and enjoying the company.”
