Miguel Angel Lopez and his teammates will be equipped with the new top-range road shoes by Northwave Extreme Pro, characterized by an exclusive light blue livery in the dial and toe area, inspired to Astana Pro Team’s colors.
NURTURING GRAND TOUR DREAMS WITH LOPEZ Astana Pro Team, one of the longest-tenured team in the World Tour, count on several top youngsters, such as Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez, overall third at Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España last year, and Danish sprinter Magnus Cort Nielsen, and more experienced athletes like Dane Jakob Fuglsang, the Izagirre brothers (Ion and Gorka) and Spain’s Luis Leon Sanchez.
