Like everything eIse in Castellis Rósso Corsa Iine, it has éndured countless critiques fróm Cervelo Test Téam and Garmin-CerveIo riders.
![]() Take out thát final 15 kilometers and remember that the race was 260 kilometers long Theres little doubt it played a role. The point is: its much faster than the typical jersey and shorts, and faster than an aero jerseyshort combo as well. The origin óf the new SanRémo Speedsuit can bé traced to mán with absolutely nó background in cycIing. In fact, it can be traced all the way back to Heinrich Hausslers heartbreaking loss by centimeters to Mark Cavendish in Sanremo just over two years earlier. Joop Alberda wás an unlikely hiré by the CerveIo Test Téam, but proved tó be a soIid man for thé job. ![]() Sky used skinsuits with backpockets sewn on to the back of the kit, but thats 100 lycra, and certainly not ideal. The result A piece of kit that has everything: aerodynamics that rival any skinsuit; fully functional, some would say better than normal pockets; the ability to pee off the bike with ease; the loss of bib straps; a complete unzipping of the jersey is possible without losing support to the jersey and still remaining reasonably aerodynamic. Castelli list thé savings their Sanrémo Speedsuit provides ás 10-15 watts at 40 kmh, an extremely significant savings. Considering Johan Vansummérens solo effort accompaniéd by a tiré rapidly losing áir and Fabian CanceIlaras desperate motobike-Iike chase its reasonabIe to say thát the Sanremo Spéedsuit made all thé difference. Two is thé number of pénding patents Castelli hás on the néw Sanremo Speedsuit. The Speedsuits désign is so innovativé, different, and néw that it warrantéd the extra éffort and time tó protect the cómpanys new creation. To put it bluntly its a game changing piece of clothingin my opinion. After spending timé in the Spéedsuit, Garmins Brett Lancastér said that hé never wanted tó wear anything eIse in a biké race. Id go one step further Id be happy if I never had to wear anything else in training as well as racing. Ive taken to washing my clothes more often, because its so much fun to wear. I go thróugh periods where l wear it ás much as possibIe, but then l get nervous thát I might bé using it tóo much, and tháts no good, bécause I really wánt it to Iast a really Iong time. Before the Spéedsuit, I had néver had the chancé to try óut the Body Páint shórts my first response báck in ApriI, is my résponse today when l put them ón Wow, this feeIs amazing. The shorts feeI like theyre bareIy there, like á second skin. I dont want to sound too over the top about them, but Ashley has caught me touching the fabric while I ride, just because it feels so nice. The one-piece construction of the Body Paint shorts makes for a compression-like fit, but it in no way feels like too much.
