Alex Rasmussen can’t start Circuit de la Sarthe, he tweets that the UCI withdrew him from the race. He tweets about lifetime ban!

    Glad to see the UCI still runs an open and transparent disciplinary process.

    Presumably this ban will be for bringing the sport into disrepute for daring to challenge their inability to follow their own processes?

    Alex Rasmussen's ejection from the Circuit de la Sarthe seems to be about whether he's got insurance or not http://sporten.tv2.dk/2013-04-02-rasend ... -ud-af-uci (Danish) - @inrng

    Suspect his life time ban comment was probably sarcasm. Must be starting to feel like a life time ban to him!

    Apparently he's now been cleared to start the Circuit de la Sarthe, an hour after the first stage started.

    Well played, UCI, the future of the sport is safe guarded in your competent hands.

    Was it the UCI who pulled him out or the organisers citing a UCI lifetime ban?

    Mixed him up with Michael, apparently...

    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Nah. UCI's audit did not recieve the registration in time. Alex, according to Weltz, knew that there was a chance of this happening.

    Alex is just being his usual 'everything is against me'. Everything IS against you, Alex - but that's because you are lazy and a bit unintelligent.
