In winning, Team Sky captain Chris Froome becomes the first rider who won  the Vuelta-Tour double since 1978, and only the third ever after Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978) to win the French and Spanish Grand Tours in the same year. The Team Sky leader has now won five Grand Tours within the last five years.

For competitive cyclists, a smart team will search for any way possible to fight the wind during training and racing. And you can have the exact same pieces as you see on the pros. Not less expensive replicas, but the exact same pieces made using the same fabrics, components, fit and finish. Castelli is dedicated to making the fastest clothing in the world. We know that race results come through relentless attention to the smallest of details. So we approach every garment questioning how we can make it faster. We do the basic research, then we test the concepts internally, then we test them with professional athletes and in the wind tunnel. The Servizio Corse Custom Team booklet will help you decide which garments you need to help you achieve your racing goals.

The Red Hook crit No. 1 started in 2008 in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn, as a celebration of the David Trimble 26th birthday. Since then has grown to be become something of an institution amongst cyclists in New York City and has spawned additional races in London, Barcelona and Milan. Last Saturday we were in Milan (the final) and we saw an awesome race, we were in a sort of Formula One event with all the ingredients: warm-up, qualifying rounds, excellent foods, beautiful girls, fashion characters and so on! Take a look of this gallery and save the date for next year!      

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
