A look behind the scenes of the Castelli women’s collection

Story by Total Women’s Cycling | totalwomenscycling.com Perhaps Castelli are a bit marmite. Based in high end technical fabric and performance, not everyone loves the connotations of the unmissable scorpion – but at TWC we’re huge fans. We also love that the head designer is a woman who takes fitting kit to the female shape very seriously. Boasting 28 years of experience designing sports and fashion clothing, Maria Teresa brings with her a wealth of style and knowledge and it’s her work that you see dotted over the country lanes every weekend and patrolling the streets at key commuting hours.

Impressive sixth place finish at Tour of Flanders for Cannondale
