Squier Posted December 20, 2010 Share UCI refuses Pegasus Sports licenseBy: Cycling NewsPublished: December 20, 17:25, Updated: December 20, 18:15Edition:Second Edition Cycling News, Monday, December 20, 2010 Australian team fails to gain Pro Continental license The UCI announced today that it has refused to register the Australian team Pegasus Sports as a Professional Continental team. It also stated that it has now closed the registration for the first and second division teams. The announcement did not rule out the possibility that Pegasus Sports could be registered as a Continental team. Pegasus Sports signed a number of big name riders, most notably sprinters Robbie McEwen and Robert Hunter, and had been seeking a ProTeam license. It lost a major financial backer earlier this month, and scrambled to meet the UCI's deadline for a revised application. The management - who had told Cyclingnews that they had found a backer last week - have only been notified that the application has been refused and that reasons will be given in the coming days. “I know nothing more than what’s been announced. In the official communication to the team it was said that the reasons why they had been refused would be communicated within a few days. All they have for now is the decision," said Enrico Carpani from the UCI. The decision could see a raft of riders leave the team even if they reach Continental level. However according to Carpani the riders were free to find new squads as early as October. "The riders are free to sign for other teams. They were already free from the beginning of October when we published a list of the teams who had completed the UCI application. That was done in order to give the riders the chance to find another squad. The Pegasus riders were therefore theoretically free to change teams then," he said. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-refuses-pegasus-sports-license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
