V. Nibali reportedly signed for 2013 and beyond with Astana for a reported $3.5 million annually. That's how much a top echelon 27 year old Grand Tour rider will cost you these days (Nibali has placed 3rd overall @ the Giro and he has won the Vuelta). He's leaving Liquigas/Cannondale.

Astana. God help us. I wonder if Borat owns the team?
