'Dale Posted November 28, 2012 Share How are these teams ranked? Is it because of previous season wins/standings? There's a points system which gets carried over into the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Unit Posted November 28, 2012 Share Liked the way europcar raced last season. Would love to see them back in one or two of the monuments. +1 Is Rolland still with Europcar? He always seems to back himself for a GC stage win or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted November 29, 2012 Share Saxo-Tinkoff could fail to secure a WorldTour licence for 2013 because the points Contador received for winning the Vuelta a Espana this year do not count towards the team's licence. Riis has signed numerous new riders with as many points as possible to help his bid but five teams are vying for the final three WorldTour licences, with Saxo-Tinkoff and Argos-Shimano said to be battling for one of the final spots. The UCI has said it will announce its final decision on December 10. From cyclingnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted December 10, 2012 Share Happy for the SA boytjie! What would happen to Katusha now? What their sponsership go ahead even though the team does not have pro tour stutus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Happy for the SA boytjie! What would happen to Katusha now? What their sponsership go ahead even though the team does not have pro tour stutus? I would be interested to know why their application was rejected, was it based on points or financial obligations or some other issue. Katusha had some seriously good riders, Rodriguez been only one of them. I will be very upset if they are relegated down and dont manage to secure wild card entries to the grand tours or if the sponsor pulls the plug.

They are the lowest team in the rankings and Katusha 2nd! http://www.uciworldtour.com/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template3/layout.asp?MenuId=MTYwNzk&LangId=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted December 10, 2012 Share UCI politics. Who really 'gets' the point system?Tch! Katusha is Russian-based.Wonderful different flavour in the PRO peloton.And, of course, lost some firepower with Freire retiring.Pint-sized Rodriquez have really brought some spark back after the aging Menchov is clearly moving into the background. Very cool for van Rensburg in the Argos set-up.What a dream for the young man. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
