    UCI should make a rule for every team to have a song.

    Gods, no. I couldn’t live in that reality. EF would be all 90s grunge covers. Ineos the least offensive AI generated muzak. Wanty all carnival bangers.

    I dread to even think about how Lidl-Trek sounds.

    Haven’t been to a Lidl in a while but with Mads P on the squad I’d imagine something like a Beach Boys style cover of a jingle they play in stores.

    Now you mention it, are we not doing those end-of-year awards any more?

    We need more team songs. If anything, it's just for the laughs and a bit of fun.

    Teams need to aim for the 1987 Calgary Flames level of hilarity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJdSUOihk6Q
    In 1987 that team was one of the best in the their league and would go on to win their championship soon after.

    If Astana wins big this year, maybe getting a team song together is the true indicator of a team's success. (joking)

    I think that is just them trying to write something in their non native tongue lol

    Yes I agree, they only have Aaron Gate (and DS Peter Kennaugh) as native English speakers. Plus - I think it’s all the better for being imperfect.

    Ok I’ve had a bit of a shit start to the year and have been feeling really low. This…this made me properly laugh for the first time in 2026. Roll on cycling season!

    In 2018 - even before the legendary Astana Rap - they made a dreamy Valentine's Day video with Dario Cataldo. He's back with the team as a DS now, but I can't spot him in this one, can you?

    The video under it on YouTube for me is called "Every Phil Hartman Character in the Simpsons" and it won't be better than a new Astana song
