The Castelli triathlon division has signed two top triathlon pros to exclusive apparel contracts for 2013. Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae and Timothy O’Donnell, both of the K-Swiss Triathlon Team, to race exclusively in Castelli apparel and use the company’s cycling products for all bike training.
Additionally, both athletes will provide testing and feedback throughout the season as Castelli continues to push the technical boundaries with its triathlon offerings.
“The Castelli apparel looks great and feels great on,” said Carfrae, who won the 2010 Ironman World Championship and has finished on the podium in all four of her appearances at Kona. “The company’s attention to detail combined with Italian fabrication is evident in every piece. I look forward to being involved with their triathlon launch.”
Timothy O’Donnell will also be targeting Kona this year. A former ITU Long Distance World Champion and longtime Ironman 70.3 standout, the former Naval officer has turned his attentions to full Ironmans and finished eighth in Kona last year.
“I’m excited to be partnering with Castelli, a legendary brand in cycling, as the company now makes its mark in triathlon apparel,” O’Donnell said.
Castelli earlier signed an agreement with the K-Swiss Triathlon Team that will see the squad’s 12 athletes wearing Castelli’s technical apparel for triathlon competition and year-round cycling training. Besides Carfrae and O’Donnell, the team includes 2012 Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Champion Leanda Cave; 2012 Ironman World Championship runner-up Andreas Raelert and his brother, two-time Ironman 70.3 World Champion Michael Raelert.
