Adidas x Merci Poupou '26 MVDP T-shirt
With the Merci Poupou MVDP T-shirt, Alpecin-Premier Tech pays a heartfelt tribute to Raymond “Poupou” Poulidor, one of cycling’s most beloved icons and the grandfather of Mathieu van der Poel. The T-shirt symbolizes the unique bond between generations and celebrates how the love, passion, and dedication for cycling are passed down from one generation to the next.
All proceeds from this unique Adidas T-shirt will be donated in full to the Merci Poupou Foundation, which supports projects that make sport more accessible to children and young people, while also contributing to a variety of charitable initiatives.
The design is inspired by the iconic Miko–Mercier–Hutchinson jersey from 1977, the final season of Raymond Poulidor’s professional cycling career. Its distinctive colors form the foundation of a unique illustration, featuring Poupou as the central figure on the front of the shirt, accompanied by his grandson, Mathieu van der Poel.
This comfortable Adidas T-shirt is the perfect choice for every cycling fan. Whether you're cheering on the team roadside or simply want to show your passion for cycling every day, this shirt allows you to wear a unique piece of cycling history while supporting a great cause.
