Peloton's music band is back with another hit: XDS Astana drop their third team song to celebrate exciting 2025 season

That XDS Astana Team are fairly decent in cycling, that much you might've already noticed over the past season when then Kazakh-Chinese team rose all the way up to the fourth place in UCI ranking, second only to cycling's giants; UAE, Visma and Lidl-Trek. But one could easily forget about their main occupation: A music band!

Although they are the one team you'd expect it from the least, the team led by the very seriously-appearing Alexander Vinokourov produced some of the biggest "bangers" the cycling (and music) industry has had the honor to listen to. And the 2026 is another vintage year as the XDS Astana Team New Song steals spotlight. That you haven't heard it yet? Hurry over and give it a hear!

When the first hit fittingly called "First Ever Pro Cycling Rap" dropped in early 2019, the rivals were stunned by the performance. And while cycling fans across the world fell in love with the team from Uzbekistan Kazakhstan, Astana left a lasting legacy, perhaps even greater than its 8 Grand Tour victories.

And although the team's golden era has wrapped up in the following seasons, the 2022 team blessed us with another single "Astana Is My Team", signalling a hopeful message towards future that materialized with the iconic 35th Tour stage win of Mark Cavendish in 2024, and a year later one of the greatest team resurrections in cycling history. If you're late to join Astana's celebrations, now is the perfect time to tune in to the sounds of Nicola Conci's guitar and savor Nicolas Vinokurov's rhymes.
