Bicycling: Gabba Jersey Gear review

The Gabba WS Rain Jersey is either the most specialized cycling top on the market, or the most versatile. After several weeks of testing, I’m leaning toward versatile. It’s not a jacket, with half-length sleeves. But it’s not quite a jersey, either, with four-way stretch Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric that’s burlier than any jersey.

Gabba Jersey, a double hit in the Tour Méditerranéen.

Michel Kreder strikes again with a double victory and leaders jersey in the Tour Méditerranéen.
In cold and windy conditions, Kreder was fully aero and protected from the elements wearing the aerodynamic Gabba WS Jersey when crossing the line La Onde Les Maures today. Saving energy on harsh conditions can be crusial when pushing for the line of glory.

Meeting up with former Indy 500 driver Alex Zanardi

Its not only the UCI WorldTour riders that are searching for an innovative edge when pushing for the line of glory. Former Indianapolis 500 and Formula One driver Alex Zanardi took up competition in handbiking after he suffered a violent accident at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, Germany, race track in 2001 that resulted in the amputation of his legs.

In Test – Single piece of fabric bibshort!

The Castelli Body Paint bibshorts are partially the result of feedback from the race team, and up close there’s no denying this is a high-end performance piece. They’re a warm weather garment with a very low cut front and a nice airy mesh in back between the straps.

The main body of the shorts is cut from a single piece of lycra, which is stretchy enough to conform to most bodies and eliminates the need for multi-panels and added seams that can chafe or unravel. It also makes for a smoother fit, which any aerodynamisist worth his weight in smoke trails will confirm creates less airflow turbulence and therefore less drag. (Which should make you faster).
