Summary

Our Preview of Astana-Premier Tech, a team built around 2019's best cyclist, Jakob Fuglsang as well as the mercurial Alexey Lutsenko and young gun Aleksandr Vlasov. Not so great on the cobbles, but elite in the ardennes and one week races, I think Astana will bounce back this year with some big wins as well as Vlasov potentially getting his first grand tour podium. We also have an interview with Astana Premier Tech's Managing Director Yana Seel, to discuss some of the background details about the business of cycling and managing a World Tour team.
