Castelli 24H Criterium Race, 2014

First of all I would like to thank CDC-Sport for inviting me to this trip and enabling me to participate in that spectacular event. The “24 ore Felte” or “Castelli 24H race” is some kind of criterium and is raced by almost 100 teams (each consisting of 12 riders) around the old town of Feltre (Italy) at the bottom of the Dolomites and only a stone’s throw away from Castelli’s headquarters. My adventure started on Thursday June 5, one day before race day. Our tour group (among others ex-professional Cata Martinez on behalf of “Ciclos Cabello” (Córdoba), Esteban from CDC-Sport in Andalusia, Juan and Miguel of “TriaWorld) departed from Malaga airport. We handed off our bikes and took our flight to Milan (2h45min). At Milan, we loaded our rental car and waded into our three hour drive to hotel “Casagrande” in Feltre. We quickly unpacked our bikes before we left for dinner and stretched our legs by walking through the old town of Feltre – a pleasant way to finish our day of traveling. Friday – race day: After breakfast we decided to make use of the spectacular cycling opportunities in the Feltre area and went for a two hour spin. Via road SP-473 ...

David Millar’s Final Paris-Roubaix

200 men stood ready in Compiègne waiting to begin the 2014 edition of Paris-Roubaix, 200 individual stories rich in texture and unique all their own. How each man came to be there, at that moment, is surely a testament to strength of will, perseverance and dedication. One story in particular stands out for us and that is David Millar’s. After 17 years as a professional, after completing a dozen Tours de France (winning stages and earning the yellow jersey), after numerous completions of the Giro and Vuelta, after winning national championships and numerous international races he stood in Compiègne with thoughts and emotions usually reserved for us mortals. You see—he had never completed Paris-Roubaix, he had tried many times…but couldn’t. So for the first time since he was 17 years old he was in a race to “finish,” to overcome self-doubt, apprehension and good old fashioned fear, to slay the dragon which had eluded him. For those of us who ride—maybe even race a bit—we understand, so go behind the scenes and listen to David in his own words and learn just how he came to be there, at that moment and how he found the strength within to see ...

Ready for the Giro

Daniel Martin enters this year’s Giro d’Italia as the great outsider of the GC. He openly admits that he still hasn’t proved that he can perform regularly with the very best over three weeks of racing and this makes his performance very uncertain. At the same time, he has mostly shined in one-day races and on shorter climbs where he can make use of his explosive climbing skills while he has had a harder time in the high mountains. This year’s Giro will obviously be decided in the final week which is loaded with long, regular climbs and it is another question how Martin will handle those strains. Over the last year, the Garmin rider has stepped up his level massively and his performance in the last two editions of Liege-Bastogne-Liege and last year’s Il Lombardia prove that he is now one the world’s leading contenders for the hilly classics. As a grand tour contender, however, he is almost a completely blank page. He has already done six three-week races but so far he has rarely had a focus on the overall standings. Instead, he has always underlined his approach of treating the races as 21 consecutive one-day classics and ...
