The Pros Backyard

With the onset of Autumn and the racing season coming to a close the attention of the professionals turns to training.

Introducing the Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

OFF-SEASON, TIME FOR FOCUS AND BASE BUILDING The season is long: it extends from February to the middle of October. There are only three quiet months left for race-weary riders to enjoy the quiet company of their own breathing or 
the joking banter of a stress-free training ride. This is the time to put in the work to make next season your best yet.   VICTORIES ARE EARNED WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING Victories are earned when no one is watching, and that means putting in the training no matter what weather you’re stuck with. Castelli’s singular goal is to make you faster. Our cold-weather collection lets you dress for any conditions, from extreme cold and rain right up till you’re back in your shorts and jersey next summer. The Best of Winter’16 is about never missing a day due to bad weather. Discover More: Castelli-cycling.com
