Photo Gallery: An Epic Edition of Strade Bianche

The white gravel roads of Tuscany and the grueling ups and downs of the route make it sapping next to the northern Classics despite its shorter distance. The one-day race is perhaps one of the most evocative races in world cycling and being relatively new to the calendar has quickly become a fans’ favorite. The 2018 edition had added drama with it. However, the course was turned into a mud bath by the rain, snow, and cold in the days up to the race. Two times winner of the race, Michal Kwiatkowski said that the race was “one of the toughest races I’ve ever done” after riding 184km of treacherous terrain with variable weather conditions throughout. And it was not to be Team Sky’s day as Tiesj Benoot (Lotto Soudal) was the first rider to enter Piazza del Campo crossing the line covered in dirt and wearing a haggard expression that epitomized why this race is so well loved. Enjoy the stunning pictures from a freezing cold and muddy Strade Bianche 2018 edition that will live long in the memory. Photos by Jered and Ashley Gruber

Omloop Thermal Bib Short – Pro innovation

We first saw this back in 2009 when our Cervélo TestTeam rider Jeremy Hunt rode the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in knee warmers that he had cut to knee length. It took six years for it to catch on, but we saw half a dozen or so riders starting the 2015 Omloop with that same look. So we engineered a fabric that lets us leave a soft raw edge at the back of the knee that won’t cut into you, and we started riding prototypes. Once again the guys who do this for a living have come up with a new way to dress. It’s significantly warmer than a thermal short but doesn’t feel overdressed like a knicker. At the Belgian classics we’ve seen the pros cutting off their knee warmers to have a thermal layer just to the knee. So we made up some shorts to ride in and quickly realized that the pros are onto something. It feels significantly warmer than a thermal short but without the restriction of 3/4 knickers. We developed a soft raw-cut edge so it’s not going to cut into the back of your knee. Plus it looks very pro. Long socks required.

Introducing the Fall/Winter 2016 Collection

OFF-SEASON, TIME FOR FOCUS AND BASE BUILDING The season is long: it extends from February to the middle of October. There are only three quiet months left for race-weary riders to enjoy the quiet company of their own breathing or 
the joking banter of a stress-free training ride. This is the time to put in the work to make next season your best yet.   VICTORIES ARE EARNED WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING Victories are earned when no one is watching, and that means putting in the training no matter what weather you’re stuck with. Castelli’s singular goal is to make you faster. Our cold-weather collection lets you dress for any conditions, from extreme cold and rain right up till you’re back in your shorts and jersey next summer. The Best of Winter’16 is about never missing a day due to bad weather. Discover More: Castelli-cycling.com
