EF Giro Jersey question

So for those of you who haven't seen the EF Giro kit yet, you're in for a treat.

Can someone help identify the faces on the sleeves?

Cycling should be fun. This is fun.

Absolutely. I love it. If I had the money and they were availability, I'd want one of those frames.

And Caley Fretz is the man.

Love his writing, including the more serious articles.

I really like the kit. Its completely great and irreverent at the same time.

Looks great in small and medium.

Not so sure it will look great on me in a large

If Rapha releases a version to the public, buy it day one as I bet it will sell out.

Pro Tip: order a few sizes if not sure since you can return. Don't find out the size your ordered doesn't fit, and then find out they are sold out of what you need.

The bearded guy on the one sleeve might be Palace founder Lev Tanju.

It'll be RCC only and it'll be one size per item. Guaranteed.

I like fun things. Just don't like the jersey.

It's like a Jackson Pollock painting mated with a Salvador Dali while Walt Disney watched.

But I like the fact that EF, Rapha, and Palace went and made this statement, even if it’s not for me. I wouldn’t run and buy this kit. But I’m actually a bit more likely to go buy Rapha kit now, perhaps even EF’s kit.
