Castelli got rave reviews when the 2013 edition of Milan–San Remo got hammered by snow and sub-zero temperatures, and half the pro-peloton was equipped with the black stealth looking, fully aero, fully breathable and fully protected Gabba WS Jersey. When the WorldTour peloton tackles the first Monument of the year on Sunday, as Milan–San Remo returns for its 105th edition, there is a good chance of rain, #GabbaWeather, but luckily no snow is expected this year for the riders who will cover the 294 kilometers to the seaside.     The Gabba WS Jersey has become the pro’s favorite piece for wet, cool, and dry conditions. Core protection without overheating is great even when the sun is shining. And the unmatched breathability keeps you drier than your old jacket that just became obsolete. Sharp eyes will notice how many pro riders from other teams use the original Gabba with the logos blacked out or mostly unbadged, and the trend of riders from non-sponsored teams wearing its Gabba jerseys when conditions take a turn for the worse. Some other brands have tried to copy it, but pros know they’re at a disadvantage if they don’t have a real Gabba. Castelli-equipped Gerald ...

Last year’s edition of the Milan-Sanremo is one that would never be forgotten, from the rain, cold and snow to the mid race transfer and finally to the eventual outcome where Gerald Ciolek put African cycling on the map by taking a most magnificent victory. Come Sunday, Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung will return to the scene of its most famed victory to date and take part in the Milano-Sanremo as the defending champions. Team Principal, Douglas Ryder, is excited to be back at the first Monument of the year, reflecting on the good memories of last year and the significant role it has played in the teams’ development over the past year. “Last year the first victory was just to be invited to Milano-Sanremo and to be able to stand on the start line with the great riders and teams in cycling, to win the race was the immediate realisation of a dream. We had so many highs and lows with crashes, the bad weather, freezing riders totally unaccustomed to the conditions. It will be a race we will never forget.” “Our credibility in cycling and opportunities that came from that iconic victory has helped shape the team to focus ...

When do you really know that a product is REALLY good. Well for us the ultimate endorsement is when a Pro pays to use a non-sponsored product or other brands start copying you. Sharp eyes will notice how many pro riders from other teams use the original Gabba with the logos blacked out. Some other brands have tried to copy it, but pros know they’re at a disadvantage if they don’t have a real Gabba. Products like the Gabba WS Jersey define Castelli. Based on pro rider needs, created to offer a tangible competitive advantage, and developed in a no-compromise pursuit of performance. Left: a non-Garmin rider wearing a blackout version the Gabba jersey at Amstel Gold Race. Right: Brajkovic with the Gabba LS Jersey. The weather for Stage 3 of Volta a Catalunya (2012) was shocking with rain, sleet, snow and cold temperatures. Perfect condition for wearing the Gabba. Luca Paolini (Team Katusha) well protected from the elements with the tight-fitting non-branded aero Gabba jersey. Supplying the Italian National Cycling Team, Castelli not only supply the race jersey and short, but the full aero-wardrobe, including Sanremo SpeedSuit, Body Paint SpeedSuit, Gabba WS Jersey, Aero Shoe-cover’s etc. Right image: Tour ...
