Every morning a show at the start

The wake-up. The routine that begins again and repeats itself for three weeks: eating breakfast, getting ready and then heading by bus to the start area. All this and much more happens every morning during the Giro d’Italia — and by now almost every racer goes through the motions without even thinking, before the day really starts and with it the hard effort in the saddle, which will end only in the late afternoon. But back to the team bus area, where the first crowds are gathering. And how could it be any different? Every cycling fan circles in red on the calendar the day in May when the Corsa Rosa comes to town and looks forward eagerly to breathing in the excitement of elite-level cycling, hearing the noise of the wheels on the asphalt, and being able to watch his or her own heroes from just a few centimetres away. This is how it was during the three Sicilian stages, which re-embraced the Giro d’Italia after the extraordinary interlude in Israel. It’s a colourful invasion, with pink as the dominant colour to celebrate the arrival of the 101st edition of the most beloved race in Italy. Beginning in the ...

Jerusalem: The Big Start!

Never, in any of the 100 previous editions, has the Giro d’Italia ventured so far to the east. And neither the Tour nor the Vuelta has been so daring as to leave the borders of Europe. But times change, the Corsa Rosa is now a celebration known around the world (194 countries connected!) and, as a tribute to the legendary Gino Bartali, the Giro organizers decided to start in Israel this year. The festivities got underway with a beautiful individual time trial in Jerusalem, a city considered holy by three ancient religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), a true centre of the world, which for the first time was able to host a cycling event of the highest level on its historic streets. It was a picturesque start that held special meaning for Castelli. After 26 years, the scorpion is back on the pink jersey and the leaders’ jerseys for all the special classifications. The first rider to pull on the highly coveted symbol of achievement was Tom Dumoulin, who was also the last to do so, having worn it triumphantly in Milan at the conclusion of the previous edition. On the podium in Jerusalem, he again put on pink, covering ...

Castelli returns to making Giro d’Italia jerseys

At the end of Milan Fashion Week, the organizers of the Giro d’Italia and Castelli unveiled the four leaders’ jerseys to be used in the 2018 edition of the race. After a 26-year break, Castelli has returned to the Giro d’Italia and will provide the leaders’ jerseys for the race in 2018. Castelli’s return harks back to a beloved era. The first winner to wear the Castelli Giro d’Italia pink jersey was Giovanni Battaglin in 1981, and the last was winner Miguel Indurain in 1992. Bernard Hinault also won his three Giro titles in Castelli, and Francesco Moser, Andy Hampsten, Stephen Roche and Gianni Bugno all took their unforgettable race wins wearing the iconic Castelli pink jersey. NOT JUST A NORMAL JERSEY Partnering with some of the sport’s most successful teams and athletes has fueled Castelli’s development of exceptional cycling apparel over the years. The four leaders’ jerseys to be used in this year’s race feature an uncluttered design and are made from aerodynamic and lightweight fabric. In addition to being full-on race jerseys, the stylish Giro leaders’ jerseys are full of details that you only discover as you hold the jersey in your hands. The general classification leader’s ...
