In the cyclists' Epiphany stocking, a unique gift emerges on the day of the Epiphany: the song created by the XDS Astana Team. The formation led by Alexandr Vinokurov has now accustomed us to this early-year tradition and for several seasons has been performing in an unmissable music video.

Nicola Conci opens with his electric guitar, giving the start to teammates and technicians who intone a rap that is both motivational and playful, with other Italian riders Alberto Bettiol, Davide Ballerini, Lorenzo Fortunato, Matteo Malucelli contributing at the microphone, and Christian Scaroni closing with the final proclamation. Motivation has not evaporated, quite the opposite, we are strong! XDS-Astana Team is ready. With the dreams and hopes we have inside us, new victories will come, without a doubt.

To celebrate the team's 20th year of activity, the style is clear from the chosen words: The team is safe, we are back at the top. The world knows we represent Kazakhstan and since we've been joined by China, our power is evident. Our X-Lab bikes travel at the speed of light and allow us to climb any slope. Our rivals can't chase us, we're in the lead and want to stay there. Turn on the TV to see us in the group, our colors have been shining for 20 years. Everyone knows our style, we're as tight-knit as a family. Season after season, we continue to be in the spotlight, never bending to pressure, faithful to ourselves, always getting back up. In every challenge we stand out, we deserve every trophy or podium we've conquered. We do it for the fans. Are you always with us? It's incredible. We are one team and we have one big goal: we aim for the top, putting our soul into it, as we've done for 20 seasons.
