Theo Bos wins again in Castelli

Theo Bos dominated the International Sprint & Keirin races in Alkmaar reaping the aero benefits of the Castelli Body Paint 3.3 Speed Suit. Theo Bos, four-time world champion and Olympic silver medalist, showed that he has not forgotten how to sprint. He dominated the International Sprint & Keirin races in Alkmaar, winning the keirin, sprint and team sprint. Nevertheless, the competition was tough, featuring the top Dutch track cyclists and international riders such as the British Olympic champion Callum Skinner. This season Bos is a member of BEAT Cycling Club. Anyone can join this club, and part of the dues will go to support the club’s professional team. In Alkmaar, Bos wore the Body Paint 3.3 Speed Suit, which was made specifically on his request, as he is aware of the “unfair advantage” of this fast suit. Also available in Castelli’s Servizio Corse custom team program. He was very satisfied with the first victory for his new team and still has a lot of ambition. “It gives me confidence that I immediately won a race at the beginning of the season,” he said. “It’s also great that this is the first professional win for BEAT Cycling Club. I am very proud of it. It ...

Sanremo Speedsuit – The cutting edge of racing innovation

Professional and amateur riders have been reaping the aero benefits of the Sanremo Speedsuit for more than six years, and they call it the best kit ever made for road racing. Your body is responsible for about 75 percent of the air drag you face when cycling, so it makes sense to ensure that you’re as aero as possible. The Sanremo Speedsuit was inspired by the Sanremo finish line back in 2009. Heinrich Haussler had just been beaten by 3cm by Mark Cavendish on the finish line in Sanremo. So we started looking for ways to make up 3cm over 300km. Along the way we invented the first true Aero suit for road racing. We’ve refined it year after year and finally in 2017 Michal Kwiatkowski of Team Sky brings it to victory at its namesake race.   A little bit of aerodynamic savings over a long period of time can result in that extra last crucial bit of energy when pushing for the line and glory. The Sanremo Speedsuit debuted at the 2011 Sanremo, but the race didn’t go well for Team Garmin-Cervélo. The first professional win in the speed suit came three weeks later, when Johan Vansummeren rode ...
