Castelli Free Aero Race bib short
Bikeradar.com &bull Sep 1, 2010
With the proliferation of carbon fibre, most major bike manufacturers who support ProTour teams have found a way of providing everyday riders with the same designs used in top-level racing, if not the exact layups and materials. When it comes to clothing, however, most top teams still have their kits custom made to the dimensions of each rider. Castelli are different.

Giro Sport Design will dive headfirst into the cycling shoe market for 2011, debuting three road, two mountain and two women's models. All will come with carbon fibre or carbon composite outsoles - made by sister company Easton - and will begin to appear in stores around March 2011.

Adieu Laurent Fignon
Cycling Art Blog &bull Aug 31, 2010
Laurent Fignon succumbed to cancer at the age of 50. A sombre reflection as I awoke this morning I looked outside and saw the rain falling. He was one of those riders of my generation that I followed with a certain respect & awe. In the 1983 Tour, in his second season, he took over the yellow jersey on Alpe d'Huez. Fellow Frenchman, Pascal Simon dismounted & abandoned due to a dislocated shoulder and lost his yellow jersey to a waiting Fignon. The Professor climbed well but never… Full Story »

My new jersey is from a Gran Fondo in Venice. No, I wasn't in this one but a nice gift from Guy. It's perfect and fits comfortably, a little shorter than what I'm used to but do like it! Just put it through the paces on my morning ride. The jersey is light enough for the heat that we're experiencing in Vancouver. And, it matches my red Giro helmet, too. Cheers Guy!
