The “Officina Bianchi” colorway debuts at the Tour with Vauquelin’s Oltre RC

Today, Friday, July 18, one of the special colorways from the “Officina Bianchi” customization program makes its racing debut during the thirteenth stage of the Tour de France 2025 (Loudenvielle-Peyragudes). Who better to showcase this world premiere than Kevin Vauquelin of Team Arkea B&B Hotels, the breakout star of this year’s French grand tour who is already wearing the white jersey as leader of the young riders’ classification.

The Blumarine Drip colorway is one of six exclusive designs introduced by Officina Bianchi. Its deep blend of blue and green tones draws inspiration from the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coastlines, with fluid graphics sweeping across the frame to create a sense of constant motion. Crisp white accents complete the look with a touch of elegance and clarity.

The Oltre RC frame, like all bikes customized under this program, has been meticulously hand-painted in Italy, underscoring Bianchi’s commitment to craftsmanship and individuality in modern cycling.

The Officina Bianchi project includes “Special Series” versions of existing Bianchi models, featuring unique paint schemes, limited editions, and commemorative collections. Alongside Blumarine Drip, the first six exclusive colorways include Miami Drip, Moon Landing White, Chameleon Green, Canova and Chromo Celeste — all available on the Oltre RC, Specialissima RC, and Impulso RC models. Orders are now open, with deliveries starting in September 2025.
