With both Christmas and January race schedule right around the corner, we can all sit tight knowing that many a team camp are currently taking place all-over the globe. With most rider/team contracts not expiring until the end of the year, any abundance of ride photos are usually hard to come by. Here’s a just a quick look at the new kit from Astana as riders gathered to meet new team member and check out the new equipment.

Top rider Jakob Fuglsang joins team manager Alexandr Vinokourov for a little pre-season chat.
Fabio Aru, Michele Scarponi, Paolo Tiralongo and Luis Leon Sanchez face-off for a game of foos ball.
Argon 18 replaces Specialized as the team’s bike sponsor. Vision (wheels), FSA (electronic drivetrain) and ProLogo (saddle) finish off the component spec. Don’t expect to see the FSA WE drivetrain being raced until later in the season.
