Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I read somewhere that the list of teams doesn't contain Sky (nor Casse d'Epagne, Saxo Bank and Astana of course). When's the deadline and is it looking likely?

    Hiya petejuk. A very similar conversation is going on just a few doors down...

    Simple answer is YES - SKY already have been awarded a ProTour licence, but due to them not filing the correct paperwork to date by a certain deadline, it isn't finalized. However, it;s a minor detail and they have the next month to rectify it.

    There is no doubt whatsoever that they have a licence and will be a ProTour team next year.

    So if what I read in the papers is true, does that mean they're guaranteed a place in the Tour against Lance and Alberto's new team, Tandy Racing?

    thanks for clearing it up for me. I look forward to a British Protour team racing next season.

    I thought it was going to be Contador for "Commodore 64 Racing"
