At the Cervélo TestTeam’s first meeting for the 2010 pro cycling season in Basel, Switzerland, Gerard Vroomen, co-founder of Cervélo said “we’re really happy with the new design of the kit. The Cervélo TestTeam riders are back in black, making it easy to pick them out of the bunch. While Castelli has gone more futuristic in its fabrics, the look is updated with the classic bar across the chest, harking back to the bike industry teams of yesteryear. Finally, the signature ‘é’ logo on the back really stands out.”
“We’ve gone a lot further this season than simply making cosmetic changes,” emphasized Steve Smith, Brand Manager at Castelli. “After one year and almost one million kilometres of testing with Cervélo TestTeam riders under all conditions – from the wind tunnel to racing in every kind of weather – the Castelli Tech Labs have made over 60 refinements to the team’s clothing for the 2010 season.”
Principal performance improvements were developed based on new Castelli research in aerodynamics and enhanced body-temperature management in all weather conditions.
Cervélo TestTeam’s debut kit was cycling’s top-selling pro team kit last season, according to L’Equipe.
