2025 May
THROUGH THE LENS
From Giro breakthroughs to sprint victories, May delivered drama. This edition explores standout moments from the Giro, Del Toro’s rise, the precision behind the Scicon Sports Race Support Team, and your chance to enter our Tour de France competition.
SCICON SPORTS RACE SUPPORT TEAM
Eyewear isn’t just handed over. Scicon’s Race Support Team works directly with athletes from the earliest prototypes, introducing new models during training and gathering feedback as they’re put to the test. That feedback shapes every detail that follows, ensuring each design meets the real demands of elite competition. The 3D Face Fit Lab was created as a direct result of this process, along with the evolution of our lens colour range, advanced ventilation systems and the Penguin nosepiece. These aren’t ideas made in theory; they’re built on experience.
When you choose Scicon, you don’t just wear what the pros wear; you wear what they’ve helped shape.
INSIDE THE GIRO | SCICON NUMBERS
Here is a closer look at Scicon Sports’ presence in this year’s Giro to date.
31/38 stages in pink across 2024–2025. That’s nearly 82%.
The data reflects what words often can’t: measurable impact at the highest level!
GIRO SPOTLIGHT RIDER
At just 21 years old, Isaac Del Toro is already shaping the future of UAE Team Emirates–XRG. His ride in the Maglia Rosa this Giro is more than a standout performance. It marked the arrival of a rider ready to lead, not just follow.
As the first Mexican to wear the pink jersey, Del Toro made history with calm strength and racing intelligence. His time in pink is not a surprise. It is a signal. With Scicon Sports eyewear supporting every stage, he proved that when preparation meets pressure, potential becomes presence.
The Giro is not over, but Del Toro’s moment is already one of the stories that will define it.

Team Jayco AlUla made their presence felt in May.
Michael Matthews claimed victory at Eschborn-Frankfurt, completing his podium set at the German Classic and marking his first win of 2025. Dylan Groenewegen followed with a commanding sprint finish at the Tour de Hongrie, reaffirming his place among the elite. At the Giro d’Italia, Luke Plapp launched a solo attack in the high mountains to secure his first Grand Tour stage and keep Jayco’s colours in the spotlight.
On the women’s side, Letizia Paternoster lit up the Vuelta España by taking the leader’s jersey, a standout moment confirming her growing role on the team’s sprint roster.
Across tours and terrains, Jayco AlUla continues to show what focus and timing can achieve. Scicon Sports is proud to stand with the team every step of the way.
