David Millar’s design house CHPT3 has collaborated with long-term partner Castelli to produce a collection of cycling kit inspired by Milan-Sanremo, just prior to this year's editions (it takes place tomorrow).
The MSR Jersey (£120) is made with a fabric previously exclusive to Castelli’s Maglia Rosa jersey, so it is a race weight, aerodynamic and high-wicking.
CHPT3 designers have softened the race jersey it is based on by including a touch of elastane and employing a less constrictive cut.
"The colours of the MSR Jersey reflect the muted, industrial portion of the race, inferring what’s to come with flashes of Mediterranean colour woven in," says CHPT3. "Meanwhile, the rear pockets show the chevrons of the Turchino Pass – the turning point in the race."
The MSR Base Layer (£70) is made from a lightweight mesh fabric originally chosen by Castelli to make a super-lightweight climber’s jersey for the Tour de France.
"MSR embodies so much of the madness inherent in our sport: a 300km race where everything happens in the final 30km," says David Millar. "Racers will always split races into sections. MSR is two halves, the tunnel of the Turchino Pass is the spiritual halfway point. The moment we exit the tunnel we descend to the coast and enter a brave new world – one where we’re more at home.
"With the MSR collection, we’ve taken this racing mindstate of compartmentalising everything and created a beautiful design, splitting the race up by the visual impression it leaves."
The MSR collection, which also includes a cycling cap (£25) and socks (£18), is available now from CHPT3.com and selected retailers.

Probably fake. But surely whether it's the 'wrong' side of the road depends on what country it is in?
Either way, who cares? Without any details it's meaningless. If there's a video it's not there for me and I can't be bothered to look for it.
But judging from the still image, I think the driver should be arrested for that horrible hair-cut and weird facial expression.
if chris boardman thinks following european zebra crossings is a good thing, come to france. No bugger stops, ever, despite it being the law.
Almost got run over in spain too taking the UK approach to Zebra crossings
If you come back to Britain, you'll find the same attitude is prevalent here, even when there are crossing lights!

No, that's not true. Motorists here are pretty good at stopping at zebra crossings. Certainly much better than Spain, France and Italy anyway.

With the massive amount of advert tracking code this page is now completely unusable.
12Mb and 3 minutes to load so far. I have a 40Mb fibre connection so the delay is your end.
I thought cyclists were clever, looks like I'm mistaken and I retain my title as an elite being. Fake or not, what you've all failed to spot is that the video is flipped, the car is driving on the wrong side of the road, therefore it's the passenger filming, not the driver. Still doesn't excuse idiotic and dangerous behaviour.
I already mentioned about it being on the wrong side of the road...
Do pay attention.
Was it down-hill? (explains speed and no pedalling).
Cyclist was going at speed on a pavement.
As always bikesnobnyc gets to the real heart of the matter.
If its real they can't convict him for deliberately causing the accident because you can't see the front, so we don't know that a kid didn't run out onto the road or whatever.
How would the drive rhave known? He wasn't paying any attention to what was happening in front of him.
If this is a fake, then he's just paid for it with a smashed rear window, so serves him right. If not fake, then I'm sure the full force of the law will come down on him (yeah, right).
Even it is fake, and all pre-arranged, then isn't "pi$$ing around on the road, braking unnecessarily so as to cause a hazard to other road users, and breaking glass everywhere" all still covered by some law or other?
Trouble is, fake or not, and I'm in the fake brigade, the dullards will see this and think I'll try that, no one will get hurt.

Regardless of whether this is set up, unless it was a closed road (which I doubt), then surely there is still an offensive. Does using a car in an attempt to make a viral video class as dangerous or careless driving??
Several news papers carried this fake content so road.cc jumps on the bandwagon, come on Alex.
If it's fake:
- no seatbelt
- using a phone whilst driving
If it's real:
- deliberately causing an accident (irrespective of whether bike has a motor)
- no seatbelt
- using a phone whilst driving
Likely police action:
If it's fake: no action
If it's real: caution the cyclist for not wearing a helmet, cycling on a pavement and / or cycling too close to a car and / or - the video doesn't show a driver not wearing a seatbelt, using a phone whilst driving or causing an accident.
Definitely something fishy about that...
Both on the wrongside of the road too.
As has been mentioned looks like a motorcyclist of the e variety seeing as he's not pedalling at all.
Yob films motorcyclist crash into car in fake attempt at viral video. That's better.
The only surprising thing about this is this website's use of the word "yob". I thought that wasn't allowed these days. Surely, in the modern parlance, he is a left-behind, with concerns about sharing the road with people he dislikes, which elites like us have failed to recognize. The local BBC radio station will probably get him on to provide 'balance' the next time they have a "Cyclists: nuisance or menace?" call-in.
Face clearly identifiable, make of car can be determined aas a grey micra and the shape will give an age to it. Police should be able to narrow it down a bit to males in the right age range, and add in the accent they should be able to get pretty close to a region too.
I'd be surprised if this hadn't been reported by the cyclist, unless it was a setup.
I could be wrong but kind of looks fake to me.
The cyclist is on the path from the start and the driver knew he would join the road? The way he smashes into the rear window doesn't look right and his reaction seems off, similar to other fake videos I've seen.
If it is somehow real then the driver should face no less than the death penatly
Actually you can clearly see him look over his shoulder as he pulls on to the road
Clearly using the phone whilst driving and capturing a deliberate attempt to harm another road user - a prosecution should be a formality.
Was there a motor on the bike? Seems like it.
Surely that's causing injury by careless (or something, FFS!) driving?? Clearly intentional.
(Admittedly, the chances of actually tracking it down...).
