The charity auction portal United Charity is offering cycling fans a collector’s item from the 2026 Tour de France. The jersey worn by German rider Nils Politt bears the signatures of eight professionals from UAE Team Emirates XRG. Overall winner Tadej Pogačar signed the jersey, as did Isaac del Toro, who finished third in the Tour de France. The other autographs are from Adam Yates, Felix Großschartner, Florian Vermeersch, Brandon McNulty and Tim Wellens. However, there’s no need to rush: the Charity auction runs until 28 September 2026.
Nils Politt: the unsung hero
This was Nils Politt’s third Tour de France alongside Pogačar. The German acted as a domestique for the Slovenian team captain and contributed to the team’s overall success. UAE Team Emirates XRG dominated the Tour de France, securing the overall victory and third place in the final standings. Although Politt is not quite as much in the spotlight as his team leader, he has a large fan base. He has 156,000 followers on Instagram. Interest in the signed cycling jersey is already high. The €1,000 mark was quickly surpassed.

Lidl jersey in a second auction
The Lidl-Trek Team jersey, signed by the whole team, is available in another Auction. Among those who have signed it are the stars Mads Pedersen and Juan Ayuso. It is an original Lild-Trek team jersey from the 2026 Tour de France, in size M. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Austrian Sports Aid Foundation. The auction has only just begun and bids are still in the lower range.
Europe's largest charity portal
Nils Politt’s shirt is being auctioned off for a good cause. United Charity runs up to 300 auctions a day on the www.unitedcharity.de platform. The charity, based in Baden-Baden, has raised over 19 million euros in donations since it was founded. Dagmar and Karlheinz Kögel launched the portal on 1 December 2009. United Charity now works with more than 300 charities.
Support for children
The proceeds from the online auctions go towards children’s charity projects. United Charity supports children from socially disadvantaged families, children with serious illnesses and children in acute emergencies. The organisation flexibly adapts its funding priorities in line with social, environmental and political developments. United Charity is unable to provide assistance on a case-by-case basis, as all funds are channelled to charitable organisations.
