EF Education–EasyPost’s Ben Healy had a blinder of a Tour de France. Healy launched a massive 42km attack to win stage 6, climbing the general classification in the process. He then finished third on stage 10 to take the yellow jersey from Tadej Pogačar and become the first Irishman to wear the lauded top in 38 years.
While his time in yellow was brief (he was still blessed with a custom yellow Cannondale, though), Healy rode to ninth in the general classification and won the overall combativity award.
“This Tour de France was a dream come true. Winning a stage, wearing the yellow jersey – you can’t ask for too much more than that,” Healy said after the Tour’s final stage.
Now, EF Education–EasyPost has made it possible for you to own a part of Healy’s historic Tour de France performance.
Healy’s skinsuit from stage 21 of the Tour de France is up for auction on MatchWornShirt, alongside kit from his teammates Neilson Powless, Harry Sweeny and Alex Baudin.
With its Irish champion bands and modified sleeves, the current bid for 24-year-old Healy’s skinsuit is £735 and there are just over four days until the auction closes.
Given his success at the Tour, it’s not surprising that the 24-year-old’s kit is currently going for a fair amount more than his teammates' kit. The current bid on Baudin’s pink kit is £147, while the Rapha aero jersey of American Powless is at £157.
EF Education–EasyPost isn’t the only WorldTour team with cycling kit on the autographed sports kit site. Team Jayco-AlUla and Ineos Grenadiers also have kit listed, including a jersey worn by Ben O’Connor and a Kask helmet by Geraint Thomas, who has just ridden his last Tour de France.
Soudal Quick-Step also has a Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 ridden in training by Remco Evenepoel up for auction, which is currently set to go for just over £6,000.
