Changes are taking place at Astana Qazastan. With the arrival of Xds Carbon-Tech in 2025, Alexandr Vinokourov's team will ride new bikes, among others.
While the name for the 2025 season should be XdS (Carbon-Tech)-Astana Kazakhstanthe team ofAlexandr Vinokourov has still leaked little information. In the midst of the fight to avoid relegation at the UCI level, the new Chinese sponsor should allow the Kazakh team to raise its level to obtain the results which will allow it to collect a maximum of points.
The riders will therefore use bikes from the brand XdS Carbon-Tech for the next seasons. And some photos have leaked of one of the models which will be rolled out next year. These are the models X-Lab AD9 for the aero bike, and the RS9 for the all-rounder according to information from Cyclingnews. Moreover, the AD9 would have produced better values than the Canyon Aeroad CFR in the wind tunnel, which is nevertheless one of the references in the field.
