Lampre-Merida Team, Mirko Selvaggi and Natnael Berhane to the start of “the falling dead leaves” Classic.
Ten Northwave riders equipped with Extreme shoes are set to line up for the 110th edition of “Il Lombardia”, taking place on Saturday October 1st on the 240 km distance from Como to Bergamo, through a demanding and mountainous route.
2013 World Champion Alberto Rui Costa and Diego Ulissi will lead the Lampre-Merida Team, whilst Croatian Kristijan Durasek, Slovenian Jan Polanc and Italy’s Matteo Bono, Mattia Cattaneo, Manuele Mori and Simone Petilli round out the only Italian World Tour team.
Extreme is the top-range shoe model of the 2016 Northwave collection. Characterized by a reflective silver look, Extreme adds to unprecedented visibility even in low-light situations. The evolution of the Extreme Tech Plus shoes, ensures excellent power transmission with its unidirectional carbon sole, compatible with the special NW-Speedplay adaptor, leading to the lowest stack between foot and pedal.
The upper, designed with Northwave Biomap technology to make it compatible to every foot’s shape, is realized with a special light microfiber. The integrated heel with interior directional fiber material provides perfect stability while pushing on pedals, keeping the foot in position with no slippings, while Northwave added a further power strap to the double SLW2 rotor, in order to guarantee a more adherent and precise fit even for those with slimmer feet.
