The retro cycling jerseys of the 1952 Vuelta Cataluna edition,is the official race poster that wonderfully captures the art and speed of the competition that year.Excitement and power of this important international race depicting a lead rider and illustrating a sport in technological transition. That year saw a solid field of riders, many vying for a late season flash of glory. Spanish star Miguel Poblet set out to put his stamp on the race capturing the first stage at Montjuich. On the torturous 7 hour stage between Villanueva and Geltru de Berga a duel between Poblet and Italian Aldolfo Grosso emerged. At days end Poblet had regained the leaders jersey for good. The googles, double mounted water bottles and spare tires wrapped around the shoulders, all vestiges of the sport for many years, would fade in less than 10 years.

In 1943, while the world was at war, bicycle racing persisted in Spain. That year the 23rd Vuelta Catalonia, one of Spain's oldest races, was won by Spaniard Julian Berrendero. The official poster, illustrated by Pallare, richly captures the spirit of the race and denotes Pirelli's 3rd sponsorship of the event.
