In 2019, the cycling team Astana went viral with a self-made rap track. Back then, Laurens De Vreese, Jakob Fuglsang, and team boss Alexander Vinokourov were among the MCs performing. Now, the Kazakh outfit has dropped a new track.
The brand-new song was recorded to celebrate the team’s 20th anniversary and the successful 2025 season. Team boss Vinokourov appears again in the clip, as does his son (and rider) Nicolas Vinokourov. We also hear verses from Alberto Bettiol, Aaron Gate, Davide Ballerini, and Nicola Conci, who also performs a guitar solo.
Celebrating our 20th anniversary and a successful 2025 season in the style we love the most 🎤 🎵
