As part of the 2025 Tour de France, Catawiki is partnering with the Merci Poupou initiative, led by the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, to pay tribute to Raymond Poulidor, an iconic figure in cycling. This fifth edition coincides with the 60th anniversary of Poulidor's victory on the Mont Ventoux stage in 1965 and the fifth anniversary of the Merci Poupou project.
To mark this event, a special jersey, designed in collaboration with KALAS, features the colors of the 1976 Gan–Mercier–Hutchinson team. This jersey was worn by the riders during the rest day outing on July 21, before the stage between Montpellier and Mont Ventoux.
An auction for a charitable cause
