Aero Race: the most aerodynamic jersey ever created

The Aero Race Jersey originates from a very simple concept that is representative of the Castelli DNA: enabling riders to go as fast as possible. The idea emerged when we realized that improving the fit of the clothing reduced aerodynamic drag, allowing the rider to gain precious seconds. If we consider that a professional cyclist in a race maintains an average speed of more than 30 km/h, even though this is not the speed of a race car it is still a significant speed when dealing with aerodynamics. The Aero Race Jersey is certainly not a piece of clothing that is developed and created in a conventional manner. Every item of Castelli clothing has in its DNA its research and its typical construction as an article of race clothing, but top-of-the-line garments like the Aero Race Jersey undergo a slightly different production process, which applies aerodynamic studies to everything and places the construction design of the garment in the next step. 1 The first phase takes place in our scientific laboratories, where a hypothetical jersey, which in theory is the best combination, is proposed. This hypothetical idea of a jersey includes all the surfaces that must have low aerodynamic ...

Ronde Recon – A day with Cannondale-Garmin

The work never ends. Cannondale-Garmin DS Andreas Klier said that there was a lot of work for the staff today. Long-time mechanic, Geoff Brown, looked up from swapping out cassettes and laughed, “When do we not have a lot of work?” Klier laughed. Good point. 11×28 The cassette that all of the riders will be on come Sunday. N8. Between Oudenaarde and the Oude Kwaremont, the team bus pulled over, and the riders tentatively made their way out clad in every kind of protective garb you can imagine. It was cold and wet and windy. A few snowflakes even fell at the beginning at the beginning of the day. First on the menu: oude kwaremont. The plan for the day: ride the final 155 kilometers of Sunday’s Ronde van Vlaanderen. No shortcuts, no skips, no zigs when the course zags – just the route. Simple. It’s a Klier thing – keep it simple. And thorough. Eikenberg. It won’t look like this on Sunday. The Eikenberg is a complete mess on race day. Andreas Klier. Andreas is one of our favorites. Andreas was our first ever model on our first ever shoot on a snowy, icy, freezing cold December morning ...

Bigla Pro Cycling Team To Wear Castelli in 2015

The Bigla Pro Cycling Team is proud to announce Castelli as its technical clothing partner for the 2015 season. The Italian company is known for making cyclists faster by revolutionizing professional rider’s clothing. They’re focused on innovation and speed and that’s no different as we reveal the 2015 Bigla Pro Cycling Team look. The team will also be using the Aero Speed Suits designed specifically for road racing and the innovative Gabba jacket that revolutionized rain jackets in professional cycling. Steve Smith, Castelli Brand Manager said: “Castelli is happy to return to the women’s peloton with the Bigla Pro Cycling Team and long time partners Cervélo and Rotor. Our goal is to help the Bigla team have a competitive advantage in every situation. With this partnership we want to use the team as a testing ground for innovation in our women’s performance clothing.” The team is currently conducting a training camp on Fuerteventura where bypasses have seen the riders donning the new look. “When we started working on the design and the corporate identity of the team, we considered our objectives in the sport,” General Manager Thomas Campana said. “We want to be one of the most competitive teams on ...
