 Queen Of The Classics

––– THE CONTEST HAS FINISHED – The winners can be found here below  ––– This week we’re bringing you a photo contest in honor of Paris-Roubaix, the last of the cobbled classics. Dust, mud, manure, crashes and bonkers fans make ‘Hell of the North’ the most brilliant and unpredictable one-day cycling race on the calendar. Luck can play just as big a part as form and strength of teams in attaining the victory. Castelli celebrates the “Queen of the Classics” with a photo competition that gives you the chance to win a pair of Free Aero Race Bibshorts, the same shorts used by Team Sky. All you have to do to enter the competition is to upload your best cycling photo. Engage your friends and get your friends t like your photo. The two photos with the most likes win.
