The Astana Qazaqstan Team teased their intentions for the 2022 season with a music video.
Vincenzo Nibali, Joe Dombrowski, Miguel Ángel López, and even boss Alexander Vinokourov demonstrated some aptitude for holding a tune.

The chorus includes lyrics like, “We are rolling pedals for the gold medals…”
True to the hip-hop style, some clips of the video were shot at a beach resort, poolside, with riders caressing a team-issue Wilier-Triestina bike.
Other clips in the lightly-produced video show the team dressed to impress, and at night in front of team cars.
Vincenzo Nibali even belted out a few lines of Italian, in front of a mic.
The team plans to start its 2022 season on Wednesday at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana with Manuele Boaro, David De La Cruz, Fabio Felline, Antonio Nibali, Vincenzo Nibali, Alexandr Riabushenko, and Andrey Zeits.
