Spotted on the start line at the Giro’s second stage in windy and cold Denmark: the Gabba jersey. We designed it for racing in the rain, but it’s a Garmin team favorite even for cool dry days like today. Rasmussen, Hunter, Rossler and Stetina all started in Herning fully protected yet fully aero.

Every Thursday during the month of April, one of Portland’s most spectacular parks opened its streets for the Rose Garden Circuit Race. Featuring a quick descent and a tough climb to the finish, and hit with Portland’s typical rainy weather, the race added a unique degree of difficulty to the average criterium.

The Castelli Fedele is unusual in that it’s thicker and warmer than most short-sleeve jerseys which makes it a useful option for spring, autumn and cool summer morning/evening rides.

Peter Stetina, Garmin-Barracuda, rode and completed his first ever Grand Tour in 2011, Giro d’Italia. He not only made it through what was without question the most difficult Grand Tour in recent memory, but he managed an impressive 22nd place overall.

The riders of Garmin-Barracuda have been reaping the aero benefits of the SanRemo SpeedSuit for over a year, and now those advantages are being extended to a wider audience.

Castelli kicked off the Italian launch of its highly innovative 2012 products (Castelli Passion Day) with a brief tour of the company’s headquarters in Fonzaso, Italy, and an afternoon bike ride in the fastest bit of clothing for road racing, the SanRemo Speedsuit.
