There are many types of events that you can participate in with a road bike. There are granfondos, sportives, 24-hour team races, randonnées and many other formulas. The only limit is the organizers’ imagination. Then there’s the Maratona dles Dolomites, which, to call it a granfondo is, at the very least, reductive. Like describing Chris Froome as an ordinary bike messenger. (By the way, Chris, recover quickly! We’re eager to see you out on the bike again.) The Maratona dles Dolomites is a granfondo just because it somehow had to be placed somewhere. Due to the distance and the fact that there’s a ranking, it’s been put in that category. But there’s much more to it, and the competitive element is probably the least important of all the aspects to be experienced during this event. The atmosphere, the incredible scenery, the roads closed to traffic from the first to the last participant, and the hospitality of Alta Badia are the actors, with the mountains and the climbs playing the leading roles in an Oscar-deserving script that every cyclist should take part at least once in their life. A film like the Maratona has a perfect plot, with a mixture of ...

The time has finally arrived. After three days of jersey design inspiration leaks, Castelli and Maratona dles Dolomite have released the two new designs for male and female cyclists challenging the 32nd edition of the Maratona dles Dolomites on July 1, 2018. The two designs unveiled tonight have been inspired by the landscape and nature of the Badia valley. To gather inspiration for the creative process, we asked six local athletes and mountain-loving friends to bring their favorite colors or objects found in nature in the Badia valley to the design table.   Fans and cyclists not participating at the Maratona will have the first opportunity to buy one of the brand-new kits on Castelli-cycling.com starting on Monday, July 2nd. Thanks to Ashley and Jered Gruber  for participating in this video, climbing the extraordinary, excruciating 138-kilometer long route with just short of 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) of climbing. What do you think about the new colors? chat about the two new kits in the comments below.       “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” – Albert Einstein.   Make sure you learn the Italian and Ladin pronunciation of “balance” in your preparation for the Maratona race ...

PERFETTO JERSEY – PRO REQUESTED PERFECTION There’s no denying that the Gabba jersey has been a game changer in pro cycling. Most of the peloton pulls it out whenever the weather is cold or wet. But sometimes the Gabba can be too warm. Its allover protection can make it feel too hot for racing in cool conditions, so our pro riders asked for protection like the Gabba but with more breathability for milder conditions. THE START OF A NEW CHAPTER – CHPT. /// Chpt. III x Castelli is a unique collaboration between recently retired British pro David ...
