Wearing the SanRemo Suit is like riding in a skinsuit but with a lot more comfort Lot’s of cycling enthusiasts may remember spring 2011. It was the first time this suit was race-introduced by Team Garmin-Cervélo at Milan-San Remo. But the history of development dates back a bit more far behind.

The Castelli equipped, Italian National Road Team, with the Italian ‘Commissario Tecnico’, Paolo Bettini, arrived in London and are finialising their preparation ahead of tomorrows’s 250km Olympic road race.

Don’t let the heat get you down. The Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda riders wanted a lightweight kit for the mountain stages of the Tour. The Inferno Bibshort and Climbers Jersey (new for Summer 2013 in Castelli colors)  was created based on the riders request for a kit for the blazing heat of Italy in May and France in July.

Light, cool and aero. Perfect for the Tour.

The new prototype Climber’s Jersey and Inferno Bibshort picked up an epic stage win today with David Millar taking the sprint in Annonay Davézieux from Jean-Christophe Peraud after 212 km off the front.
