By Richard Pestes – PezCyclingNews.com. If you live where I do, the last month has been perfect for testing the wet weather gear, so here’s a look some innovative items from Castelli to help stay dry: Nanoflex arms & knee warmers, Pave Bibtight, SuperNano gloves, and the Pioggia 2 shoecovers.

This year’s World Championship has been described as a sprinter’s course, but the team manager of the Italian national squad, Paolo Bettini has warned that any eventual winner on Sunday will have to be far more than just a fast finisher.

“Its going to be a a long and fast race, you’ll have to fight for your postion to avoid crashes in the many snap corners.” Matteo Tossato said.
Castelli followed the Italian National Team on the course on Tuesday, with two laps of the 14 km circuit course riding 42km/t average speed.

Castelli is dedicated to speed and performance – speed through aerodynamics and reduced weight, but also speed by helping the human body to perform at its maximum potential.

You were expecting yet another sprint at the Santos Tour Down Under 2011? You were probably not the only one! This wasn’t however the case since the early breakaway managed to continue until the finish where Cameron Meyer (Garmin-Cervélo) won the stage and put himself in the race lead.

StarCrossed, the first race of the North American Cyclocross Trophy series, seemed threatened by sunny afternoon skies and uncomfortably-warm temperatures. Die-hard cyclocross fans sighed, regrettably leaving rain gear and umbrellas in the car. But the host city was Seattle and, when it comes to rain, the area rarely disappoints.
