SanRemo SpeedSuit for the Italian team.
This year’s World Championship has been described as a sprinter’s course, but the team manager of the Italian national squad, Paolo Bettini has warned that any eventual winner on Sunday will have to be far more than just a fast finisher.
“Its going to be a a long and fast race, you’ll have to fight for your postion to avoid crashes in the many snap corners.” Matteo Tossato said.
Castelli followed the Italian National Team on the course on Tuesday, with two laps of the 14 km circuit course riding 42km/t average speed.
Millar powers to victory with new aero SpeedSuit
David Millar swept to victory on the 26km time trial course in Milan in 30 minutes, 13 seconds (51.627kph) to claim his first individual stage win at the Italian tour.
If you were fast, you might have noticed some of the new aero details of the BodyPaint SpeedSuit that Millar was wearing yesterday.

Peloton Magazine: Castelli SpeedSuit Wins Roubaix
Paris-Roubaix is well known as a new product test lab. It’s a big stage, it’s a challenging stage, and it’s a legendary stage. Succeed here and cyclists will take notice. Despite the obvious challenge the cobbles present, the most recent focus has been on new aerodynamic products. The theory behind this is, make your move on the cobbles, and make it stick on the tarmac in between. This has been the recipe for victory in all recent runnings of the “Hell of the North.”
Van Summeren blaze to victory in the Queen of the Classics
Belgian Johan Van Summeren, wearing possibly the fastest bit of clothing ever created for road racing – the Castelli SpeedSuit, soloed off the front to claim the victory of the 2011 Paris-Roubaix.
It was sun, blue skies and dust rather than mud that greeted the combatants on today’s Hell of the North, Paris-Roubaix. On a spectacular day of crashes, splits and dust it was Johan Van Summeren, Garmin-Cervelo, who attacked a leading group of four riders with about 15-km left before going on to win the Queen of the Classics.
The Garmin-Cervelo rider took the biggest win of his career, ahead of Fabian Cancellara (Leopard Trek) and Maarten Tjallingi (Rabobank).
“I am the happiest man in the world. It’s a race that’s made for me, it’s made for my body.” said Van Summeren when Belgian fans waved their flags in delight at the Roubaix velodrome.
