Le-Mével climbs to third overall at Giro

Christophe Le-Mevel (Garmin-Cervélo) climbed into third overall at the Giro d’Italia after another superb performance in what was the first major summit finish in this year’s race.

Le-Mével rose to the challenge of the two-climb ascent of Europe’s most active volcano and crossed the line 11th on the stage and nudged up to third overall as the Giro heads into its first of two rest days Monday. Spanish rider Alberto Contador attacked with about six kilometers to go on the final climb up Etna, which erupted earlier this week to leave a thin layer of dust on the road.

The first week of the Giro will present some great opportunities for Team Garmin-Cervélo to look for stage wins prior to fighting for the overall classification in the high mountains of week two and three.
Garmin-Cervélo brings a deep, balanced team to the season’s first Grand Tour with eyes on winning stages and putting a man in the top-10 overall at the Giro d’Italia.

Zabriskie powers to Romandie TT with BodyPaint SpeedSuit

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.

Peloton Magazine: Castelli SpeedSuit Wins Roubaix

Paris-Roubaix is well known as a new product test lab. It’s a big stage, it’s a challenging stage, and it’s a legendary stage. Succeed here and cyclists will take notice. Despite the obvious challenge the cobbles present, the most recent focus has been on new aerodynamic products. The theory behind this is, make your move on the cobbles, and make it stick on the tarmac in between. This has been the recipe for victory in all recent runnings of the “Hell of the North.”

Van Summeren blaze to victory in the Queen of the Classics

Belgian Johan Van Summeren, wearing possibly the fastest bit of clothing ever created for road racing – the Castelli SpeedSuit, soloed off the front to claim the victory of the 2011 Paris-Roubaix.

It was sun, blue skies and dust rather than mud that greeted the combatants on today’s Hell of the North, Paris-Roubaix. On a spectacular day of crashes, splits and dust it was Johan Van Summeren, Garmin-Cervelo, who attacked a leading group of four riders with about 15-km left before going on to win the Queen of the Classics.

The Garmin-Cervelo rider took the biggest win of his career, ahead of Fabian Cancellara (Leopard Trek) and Maarten Tjallingi (Rabobank).

“I am the happiest man in the world. It’s a race that’s made for me, it’s made for my body.” said Van Summeren when Belgian fans waved their flags in delight at the Roubaix velodrome.
