Here’s your inspirational read for your Christmas ride

We know that feeling. You’re blessed by the fact that you can rest from your daily commute or from your office activities – hopefully. You’re maybe with family and friends having good time together, in a spirit of joy and kindness. But at the same time, you feel something is missing. Something you can’t ignore, which comes from the inside and makes you feel you need to go. At least for those 2-3 hours, you need to ride. Sometimes, you start to feel it even the days before Christmas. You begin to think about that beautiful day, and whether there will be some space for you and your bike, alone. You might even feel a bit dirty about it – come on, even on Christmas day? For what it’s worth, we are no different. Or maybe you tell yourself that you’ve worked out all year, so you can definitely take a day off and enjoy some Holidays special treats. Of course you can, and you will. But for some reason, you’ll go and ride anyway. Cold weather is not our friend but quite often, it’s been our way to test ourselves. Cold season is the best way to improve, to do better when it’s easier ...

Heading up and down through the meandering roads leading right into the monumental Dolomites, Corvara in Badia. 9:15 AM— the arrival All the way to get there until the first location, a continual feeling of amazement inhabited me. The powerful attraction led by the numerous peaks (no wonder it’s a UNESCO world heritage site) made me feel so little but such in peaceful state of mind at the same time. 9:45 AM— meeting with the crew … but first coffee I could then feel that even if the weather were not likely to be on our side, we would have a good day. The models, the team and the Gruber’s (Ashley and Jered, photographers and dear friend of Castelli), everyone had an optimistic energy ready to chase the sun and authentic ...

Red Hook 2017 Milano

It has become the can’t-miss event for the brakeless, fixed-gear world. Today, the Red Hook Criterium is the king of the fixie events, and Milano just hosted the last crit of the year. Castelli was there too, not only with the official Red Hook jersey but also with two participating teams. Our women’s team partner LA Sweat was in the race, and the men’s team Cykeln showed off a violet and mint green Castelli skinsuit. After Brooklyn, London and Barcelona, Milano is the fourth city on the Red Hook calendar. It was the second race to be established, after the concept was launched in the Red Hook neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Bovisa, the university district north of Milano, hosted the event, where 34 different countries were represented by the participating athletes. More than 10,000 spectators attended the race. It was a very special day of cycling indeed. The athletes are there with you all day long: you can chat with them, you can watch them warming up on the rollers, you can wait for the next lap with a craft beer and a local-style sandwich. And when the race is on, a lap is just ...

Inside the race – The Ardennes Classics

A thrilling week in Belgium is over, the Ardennes Classics showed how beautiful our sport is. Team Sky missed the first place of the podium in all the three races by a few meters with “Kwiato” (2° at Amstel Gold Race and 3° at Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi) and S. L. Henao (4° at Fleche Wallonne) but also showed its potential for the rest of the season, when the game will be tougher.
