BodyFit Pro – Winter training kit of the pro

Winter, or the ‘off season’ for pro riders doesn’t mean hanging up their bikes and loading up on calories (at least not for the serious pro!). It’s a time to re-focus, recover from a hard season of racing and training for next year’s goals. Most riders will spend a few weeks at a training camp …

Thanks to Tinkoff

As Jesus Hernandez crossed the line on the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit in Abu Dhabi last weekend it signaled the end of an era. The last Tinkoff rider in the team’s last ever race. Dressed in the retro yellow, white and black kit designed to recall the team’s original colours, it was an emotional …

The Season of Sagan

PETER SAGAN ::   In Argentina the World Tour season begins, like in all first appointments Sagan is excited, anxiously waiting. The first stage race of the year, which for seven days in January held everyone in suspense. Second place in the second stage! Not a victory as such but his form bodes well for …

Roubaix – a history of victory

Mapei – perhaps the most famous team to have bounced their tires across the roughly hewn stones of the Arenberg and where Sportful’s rich history with Paris Roubaix starts.

Milano – Sanremo: The Classicissima

Milan Sanremo – an odd race… extremely long, yet often finishes in a sprint… mostly flat, yet features 3 three climbs designed to make it harder for the sprinters… finishes in a sunny beach resort, yet famed for terrible weather… The first editions of the race were notable for their extreme cold, the first race …

What’s Cooler Than Cool? Custom Kit

Of all the things that a cyclist can own, a custom kit of your own design has to be up there in the pecking order of “must have’s”… Sharing this experience with friends (preferably one’s that ride bikes!) is second to none.   A “new kit day” as we all know – is a good …

Fiandre & the Falling Leaves

Pre race nerves are nothing new, any competitor, will be accustomed to that unsettled feeling in their stomach, a sleepless night, followed by a morning of nervous energy… A forecast that showed unsettled weather for the final classic of the season; Il Lombardia only accentuated this feeling. However as someone who was simply spectating, these …
