Team Sky and Castelli reveal 2018 race kit

27 November, 2017 (Fonzaso, Italy) – After celebrating the most successful season in the team’s history Team Sky today unveiled its new kit for the 2018 season. The kit will give the team a new look for the new season. However, the kit also retains many of the features that have made Team Sky riders so recognisable in the peloton. “We really wanted to keep the victory lines which have become part of the team visual language, but we wanted to represent them in a new way.” The victory lines from last year are still represented on the kit. The 244 victories from 2016 and prior are on the back of the jersey, while the 2017 victories including the historic Tour-Vuelta double are brought in a subtle way to the front of the jersey.

Introducing Gabba 3 and Perfetto Limited Edition

Ever since a particularly cold and snowy edition of Milan-San Remo in 2013, the Gabba has been the most sought-after jersey in a cyclist’s wardrobe. Inheriting the style and performance of their predecessors, the Gabba 3 and Perfetto Long Sleeve Limited Edition jerseys are back in Barbaresco Red and Giro Pink. Designed using Windstopper® X-Lite Plus and Castelli’s exclusive Nano Flex material, the jerseys deliver superior performance with regard to wind protection, water resistance and moisture management. The jerseys feature a truly aero and stylish cut with a close-to-body fit that still provides full freedom of movement. With plenty of space for all your riding essentials, the Perfetto and Gabba jerseys consist of three rear pockets with laser-cut drains holes so that rain doesn’t soak your valuables. This is combined with a silicone gripper to prevent any sag or jersey ride-up and a splash flap on the back to make it lie flatter and fit better. The reflective logo back there keeps you visible.

Like last year, Patrick Lange brought his strength into play on the concluding marathon and took the title and a course record in winning the World Championship in a thrilling race. The German won in 8:01:40 and broke the previous record of Craig Alexander (8:03:56) from 2011. Enjoy a small selection of images by Ingo Kutsche & David Pintens
