Multiple U.S. time trial champion David Zabriskie once again bested the field in the race against the clock, winning the Tour of Romandie stage 4 time trial. And a strong overall performance from the Garmin-Cervélo Team with four in the top 20, and Andrew Talansky taking the best young rider jersey from teammate Peter Stetina.

Creating clothing for athletes at the highest level of the sport is the most demanding proving ground for Castelli. David Zabriskie was not only reaping the benefits of his aero P4 bike and components, the Castelli BodyPaint TT SpeedSuit gave him an extra aero advantage over the 20.1km.

A keen eye may have noticed a slight change in the bib shorts and jerseys of Garmin-Cervèlo’s Tyler Farrar, Johan VanSummeren, Heinrich Haussler, and Matt Wilson at Milan-San Remo this year. That’s because they weren’t wearing bib shorts and jerseys anymore – at least not as we know them.

I tend towards being “finicky” when it comes to things that I love and use on a daily basis. Like a good saddle, when I find a pair of bib shorts that I love, I hoard them in order to make sure I won’t run out. My personal “stock” has hit a rough patch in recent years…bibs that have been washed hundreds of times tend to become more see-through and less lycra.

Castelli is dedicated to speed and performance – speed through aerodynamics and reduced weight, but also speed by helping the human body to perform at its maximum potential.
