T1:Stealth Top – Save up to 6 minutes in your next Ironman

Covered sleeves became indispensable for optimized aerodynamics on the bike. Knowing about possible time savings on the bike from our cycling background we started working on a triathlon specific bike top in 2012. At the beginning we sticked with a long sleeve version, the fastest option and still state of the art for the fastest time trial suits. Experience in practice has shown that long sleeves and 1/2 zipper might not be the best solution for triathlon. A compromise between practicability and best aerodynamics was needed. Towards Kona 2013 Castelli produced a small run of pre-production samples for the world championships and outfitted Timothy O’Donnell with a first customized T1:Stealth Top. At that time the Stealth took the world by storm and helped Timothy to improve his bike split by over nine minutes from the year before. Timothy and his wife – triple Ironman world champion Mirinda Carfare – were involved in the development process of that top from the very beginning. The T1:Stealth Top reduce aero drag for the bike leg. You wear it over your tri top, or in hotter conditions by itself, and you’ll be faster with the same effort. Wind tunnel testing data translated onto actual road conditions and taking ...

Fraser Cartmell: My journey to Hawaii 2015

There had been a long time between drinks. It was 5 years since my last (and only) race on the Big Island – the biggest race of them all in non drafting triathlon; Ironman Kona. This goal of qualifying for Kona once again had essentially started two years beforehand when I was on the island supporting Ali on her very first attempt at the distance, but started for me in serious earnest just over one year ago at IM Wales. However, with some reasonable reflection since returning home I can now grasp why it was this very (drawn out!) process that resulted in my finish time being over an hour slower than ever before in an M-dot. Undeniably, once I had qualified for Kona it was ‘head down, bum up’ territory. You believe in yourself to be able to ready on that given day, which admittedly was not that far away anymore. But you tell yourself it’s far enough away. As a brief background, qualifying as a Professional for Kona is determined by a points scale (Kona Pro Rankings, or KRP). Athletes accrue points via 5 scoring races, at least one of which must be an Ironman, and up to ...

(7 October 2015, Fonzaso, IT) Castelli is proud to announce the contract renewal with Belgian top triathlete Frederik Van Lierde. The leading triathlon apparel manufacturer and Frederik Van Lierde prolong their fruitful collaboration until the end of 2018.

He will have access to the full Castelli Free triathlon collection, form the revolutionary T1:Stealth Top and comfortable Free ITU Suit to the short sleeved Free Sanremo Suit, a true secret weapon and watt saver. With his experience and feedback Van Lierde has played a key role in the product development of the 2016 Free triathlon collection. “I’ve never worn a better suit in my 13-year pro career. The race suit provides superb aerodynamics and highest comfort for the run.” “I worked with Castelli over the last three seasons, it’s just amazing and a big honour for me to continue our excellent partnership for another three years.“ Van Lierde said. „Winning the Ironman World Champion in 2013 wearing the Castelli Free ITU Suit made a big difference for me.

Michael Raelert wins Ironman 70.3 Rügen

Past weekend has been high-flying for lots of Castelli triathletes. Scotsman Fraser Cartmell finished second at Ironman Wales (Pembrokeshire), 4 minutes behind winner Matt Trautman (RSA). Laura and Greg Bennett did and olympic distance race and both placed 3rd at Beijing International Triathlon. Without no doubt, the most notably results were achieved at the first edition of Ironman 70.3 Rügen. Michael Raelert triumphed ahead of Castelli brand mate Matthias Knossalla and Edo van der Meer from the Netherlands. Talking about Rügen, conditions were rough on race day and organizers had to cancel the swim due to heavy rain, storm and harsh waves at the Baltic Sea Coast in Binz. So the Ironman 70.3 was transformed into a duathlon event. Instead of the 1.9 km long swim a 5-kilometer run was the prelude. “It’s always a pity, when it is impossible to make the entire route, but under these conditions, a swim would not have been a good idea. It was a very challenging race for all competitors. Today, everyone has felt how hard the conditions have been,” said Michael Raelert. Contrary to Michael Raelert, the podium spot of Matthias Knossalla was a bit surprising, especially for Matthias himself. The Limburgian ...
