Hi there.

"Team manager Gianetti expects ethics to be a factor" - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/geox-st ... am-licence

Yes, I expect ethics will be a factor too...

The 10 days Gianetti spent in intesive care after 'experimental' drug taking must have addled his brain.

Cheers, Andy

Pat McQuaid says it's not true. They'll decide before the 10'th of December though.

Surely with Sastre and Menchov on board they'll get a tour invite anyway, so long as they don't any any big doping busts in the team?

Euskatel in, and Geox out.

I thought they would choose the best 18 best teams?

And no, there is not room for a nationalistic team like Euskatel. They lack depth and is not global team like Team Geox.

Cérvelo Test Team was a symbol of how the ProTour failed.
Geox is going to the symbol of why WorldTour will fail.

Good job UCI, you did it again.
