Envious.

It’s hard to pedal through a routine training ride and not occasionally indulge in a sprint fantasy, especially during the heady weeks of the Tour. Though he rarely dominates sprints with the brutishness of Cav or Kittel, Sagan’s supremacy in the overall points classification and his unchallenged control of the entire peloton throughout this Tour define what the green jersey is really about. We teamed up with the craftsmen at Castelli to create the Sprinter Free Aero Men's Bib Short to give a nod of respect to the men who have fought for green this year against Sagan’s authoritative control, unrivaled bike handling, and the thrilling finishes those rivalries have given us.


We trusted Castelli’s expertise in fit and construction for the Sprinter Free Aero, adding our own aesthetic touches to the brand’s top-end Free Aero bib short. This year, the Free Aero features Vortex dimpled fabric along the outer leg complemented by supportive Forza panels along the inner legs. Forza’s Lycra content gives it the ability to hold its shape and limit muscle vibrations in the saddle for a less fatiguing ride, while the dimpling on the outer legs aims to improve aerodynamic efficiency on the days you’re counting watts. Of course, Castelli arranges each panel to achieve a contoured, next-to-skin fit in the saddle, using its Doppio V waistband construction to create a streamlined transition between legs and torso that keeps you comfortable as you’re stretched out in the saddle.


The Doppio V waistband joins the legs to minimalist bib straps cut in Castelli’s open Free fit, which eschews excess fabric to create a cooler, less restrictive fit for hot days and long ascents. The elimination of inner thigh seams is another nod to comfort demonstrative of Castelli’s expertise in fit and design, and the wide, flexible Giro Air leg grippers gently compress the bottom hem of the short to hold it in place cleanly and without pinching.


Sprinters, even on days in the mountains, must still log the same miles as their willowy GC counterparts ("green jersey winners are good climbers," Australian sprinter Cooke once confided in us), and Castelli includes its Progetto X2 Air chamois in the Free Aero to make sure that long days are always possible, even if your legs protest. The insert’s strategically arranged pockets of cushioning covered by a soft, odor-resistant microfiber ensures you’ll be protected in the saddle, while the overall flexibility and seam-free design keep you free to move around throughout your ride.
