First 2014 win for Van Lierde
Hawaii Champion Frederik Van Lierde is back on the road to success.
This year’s focus of the 35 year old Belgian lays on defending his Kona title in October.
After finishing 4th at all his previous 2014 races so far (Abu Dhabi, Cannes and Aix en Provence), he showed this class and triumphed at half distance triathlon ‘Extreme Man’ in Düren (Germany).
Just like at IRONMAN Hawaii, Van Lierde relied on Castelli’s one-pices suit FREE ITU SUIT.
This suit is designed for best aerodynamics and comfort and – thanks to the two back pockets – is also suitable for long distance racing.
Castelli also offers this world championship-winning piece to be customized for your team.
After a short rest, he will proceed with his preparation for the European Championships at IRONMAN Frankfurt on July 6. This race will be a real showdown of some of the strongest athletes in IRONMAN circus including multiple IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Sebastian Kienle and Olympic Champion Jan Frodeno.
