having all the electric cars in the race is no longer such but a concrete goal.

the importance of past experience. Castelli’s relentless drive for innovation brings how
usual to revolutionary advances in performance and design and it is thanks to this
vision that even the Maratona jersey, a derivation of the ‘Squadra’ collection, was
renewed to make it truly special. A door has been integrated into the rear pockets

the integrity of the fabric, but also improves aerodynamics in the lower back. Castles
has grasped and interpreted the “ERT” (ART) theme with an original graphic approach inspired by the gesture

achievement of beauty. A touch of the brush, like a pedal stroke, that the vigorous
cyclist settles down a mountain road, unstoppably anxious to cross the
Step. Technically, the jersey offers all participants light equipment,
aerodynamic and high performance that derives directly from the experience of professionals
