High-tech clothing – Every single watt counts

At Castelli it’s all about speed and comfort. That’s why our primary objective is to development the fastest possible clothing on the market. Just like in racing, being fastest doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of dedication and methodical hard work. It comes from working with the best technical minds in the sport. It comes from leaving no stone unturned in seeking out incremental gains. Each year we spend hours and hours in the wind tunnel to improve our clothing. In this GCN-video Castelli’s brand manager Steve Smith gives an insight into that topic and our efforts. Good news is, that our findings aren’t reserved to the pros of Cannondale-Garmin and MTN-Qhubeka. Our high-end race garments are also available through the Castelli inline collection or the Servizio Corse custom team program.

Video: MTN-Qhubeka hoping to build on African talent

Since 2007, Team MTN-Qhubeka have focused on becoming the first African team at the Le Tour de France, and that dream was realised this year when the team received a wildcard invitation to the Grande Boucle. “For us and across South Africa and Africa, when people talk about cycling, they talk about the Tour de France,” says Douglas Ryder, MTN-Qhubeka’s team principal. “It’s as if there is no other race. They don’t understand that as a team we race 200 race days to prepare and get ready and get strong enough to be able to compete in a Grand Tour like the Tour de France.” The team are hoping that participation and success in the world’s biggest bicycle race will aspire more interest in the sport among Africans, eventually producing more homegrown talent. “Having a team like ours, with a uniquely different story and riders from all over the African continent, we know that it will just raise the profile and it will kick the door open for African cyclists into the future,” Ryder says.
