Castelli 24H – Racing Through the Night

The Castelli 24-hour race ticks all the boxes for a great cycling party central, its fun, sociable, enjoyable, sociable, fast and exhilarating as 80 teams of 12 riders tackle the 24 hour race. Each of them had their own tactic for the race, splitting the team in to groups of three who rotated in a two – three hour shifts, typically riding between 15-25 minutes throughout with crowds screaming all the way around the circuit. Amongst those riding for the victory, measured in total number of laps, were some of Italy’s top amateur teams, a few professionals and ex- world champions, you know it’s no walk in the park. Enjoy the stunning images by Enrico Ubezio from a great event in the heart of Feltre.

No Tour for Dan Martin, will focus on the Vuelta

Although he won a stage last year and looked set for a top 10 overall until he became sick, Dan Martin has confirmed that he has decided to miss this year’s Tour de France. The Irish Garmin-Sharp rider crashed out on stage one of the Giro d’Italia on May 9th and while his fractured collarbone has healed, he is yet to resume racing. As a result he believes it is better to focus more on the Vuelta a España and the World Championships. “For me, I prefer to be 100 percent ready for the next Grand Tour . I wasn’t ready in time to do the Tour de Suisse, so I wouldn’t have had a big race before the Tour.” “I think I am quite fit now but I am not anywhere near good enough to be contesting stages or whatever at the Tour. It is better just to refocus and rather than rush into something, really give myself time to prepare properly for the Vuelta.” Martin said yesterday.

Great achievement for Castelli equipped German Evi Neuscheler at IRONMAN 70.3 Aarhus last Sunday.

Women Top-3: Camilla Pedersen (DEN) 4:26:05 Evi Neuscheler (GER) 4:42:56 Parys Edwards (GBR) 4:43:45 Read on Evi’s race impressions: “The Danish Aarhus has not only made me smile, but was also my first podium finish at a 70.3 race. Just over a year after my accident at IRONMAN 70.3 in Berlin and a difficult preparation full of injuries, I came to Denmark highly motivated and very excited. Today, it just had to work! Swimming in the cold Baltic Sea fighting against jellyfish was as hard as expected. I wasn’t able to follow the pace of the front group and reached T1 at 11th position. My jump on the bike must have been pure entertainment for the audience. Everything went wrong. Anyway, I stayed focused and laughed at myself. I quickly found my rhythm and caught a few competitors quite early in the race. It really went like clockwork on a beautiful, winding course through the hills around Aarhus. After 3h12 on the bike, I started the concluding half marathon ...
