The new outfitter from Italy has added its own touches to the Astana Qazaqstan jersey, but the basic features of the jersey have remained the same. The light blue colour of the Kazakh flag covers the entire jersey. While last year's jersey has a chequered pattern further down and on the sleeves, in which the light blue shade gradually fades into darker tones, the new jersey features a striking pattern of black and gold, which is intended to resemble veins of minerals. The colour combinations represent the team's national roots.
The past season did not go well for the Kazakh team. The team scored the fewest UCI points among the World Tour teams. 13 new riders will join the squad for the new season. These include two German professionals, Rüdiger Selig and Max Kanter. The star of the team is and remains Mark Cavendishwho would like to secure the sole record for the most stage wins at the Tour de France in 2024, which he currently shares with Eddy Merckx (both 34 stage wins).
