The Astana Pro Team's 2016 campaign is under way in earnest as the riders and staff gather this week in Calpe, Spain, to prepare for the year ahead. Although the week got off to a rough start when top domestique Alessandro Vanotti was involved in a crash and broke his leg, the rest of the team has been riding daily, dialing in equipment, meeting with sponsors and getting reacquainted with one another.
Showing off new Specialized bikes with a slightly different paint job, Vincenzo Nibali, Fabio Aru and the rest have been circling the Spanish coastal town during multiple rides.
