<div id="content_main">Sky rider starting back with light training after Tour de France crash is back on the rollers training again for the first time since breaking his shoulder in a crash at the Tour de France. The rider now has his sights firmly set on the the end of September.The Norwegian had to leave the during the 12th stage, when As of Monday, he was able to start light training again, although he does not yet know when he can train on the road again.He was very unhappy to have to leave the Tour as he did. “It is very bitter to crash. There are many crashes I could have been involved in, but managed to avoid. To crash and to abandon some races is natural, but it is bitter when crashing out of the Tour de France, the biggest race of the year.”“I figure I'll be ready for the world championships. There has been good progress,” he told Procycling.no. “It has only been one and a half weeks since I broke my shoulder and I'm back with a sling and it is almost normal.“In the beginning I could not move my arm. After that I started to get movement in the shoulder and train. I relaxed a bit and watched the Tour de France,Cycling Shorts.”He now has his eye on the Worlds, and the difficult course in Florence. “I have not looked so closely at it. It is a hard course. If I am in good shape, I can stay (with the leaders). This is a course that sprinters will not keep up with.”Boasson Hagen won silver last year at the Worlds behind Philippe Gilbert and aims for a better result this year. “It went really well last year, so now it should be something better. The goal is to become world champion once during my career, and there is a new opportunity every year.”<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Former GAN manager on "a black period for cycling"Former GAN manager Roger Legeay has expressed his disappointment at the news that ahead of the 1998 Tour de France but said that the Australian’s story is simply indicative of the general state of cycling at the time.A released on Wednesday included a list of retrospective tests carried out on samples from the 1998 Tour, with O’Grady and GAN teammate Frédéric Moncassin both named as having returned suspect samples. from cycling on Monday and confessed to doping in an interview with the Herald Sun on Wednesday. He claimed that he had sourced and purchased EPO himself ahead of the 1998 Tour, where he held the yellow jersey and won a stage as a 24-year-old, but never doped again after news of the Festina affair broke during the race.“It’s surprising and disappointing but it was the boy’s own personal initiative,” Legeay told Cyclingnews. “The riders were warned about the dangers and told what they couldn’t do. After that, the riders took their own individual decisions. It demonstrates how things were not good at the time.”Legeay, who is now head of the MPCC (Movement for Credible Cycling), denied that there was an organised doping programme in place on his team, which he managed from 1986 to 2008 under the sponsorship of Peugeot, Z, GAN and Crédit Agricole.“No, I didn’t know anything at all and you can see that from what the riders are saying now – they did these things on an individual basis. These were individual decisions that were the reality of the era,” Legeay said. “The management of the team had completely clear dialogues with the riders and with the sponsors too, and they were told in no uncertain terms that if they were positive they would be fired.“Clearly, we weren’t informed about individual decisions. It was nothing to do with us. Our partners always made it clear that if there was organised doping on the team, then they would cease their sponsorship. With us, if a rider tested positive, he was fired.”O’Grady turned professional with GAN in 1995 and stayed with Legeay’s team until the end of 2003. He later raced for Cofidis, CSC, Leopard Trek and GreenEdge, winning Paris-Roubaix in 2007 and starting 17 consecutive Tours de France.Legeay refused to be drawn on whether it was credible that O’Grady had, as he claims, doped himself for just two weeks of a professional career that spanned 19 seasons.“He’s the one who is telling his story,” Legeay said. “I don’t have any opinion on that. He’s the one who knows how he took EPO, how he went across the border alone and looked for the products. That’s what he’s said.”The French Senate Commission named 18 riders as having tested positive for EPO at the 1998 Tour with a further 13 – including GAN’s O’Grady and Moncassin – listed as returning “suspect” samples. Incidentally, the list of positive riders also includes Laurent Desbiens, then of Cofidis but who two years previously had been fired by GAN along with the late Philippe Gaumont and team doctor Patrick Nédelec after he tested positive for nandrolone.“There’s nothing special in this affair because we already knew about many of the riders on the list, as they had already confessed or been sanctioned. It was a black period for cycling because the anti-doping controls couldn’t detect EPO but that’s hardly a scoop,” Legeay said.“As far back 1996, along with Jean-Marie Leblanc and Daniel Baal, we wrote to the sports ministry, the UCI and the IOC saying that something needed to be done to detect EPO, and we asked for blood testing.“It’s not a scoop that they were riders positive for EPO at the 1998 Tour de France but now things are much, much better. You can’t compare the era of 1998 with today in terms of anti-doping.”MPCCHead of the MPCC since its foundation in 2007, Legeay was keen to stress the advances that have been made in the fight against doping in the fifteen years since the Festina Affair of 1998.“We have blood tests, the biological passport, whereabouts, out-of-competition testing and with the MPCC we carry out additional cortisol testing,Cycling Shorts,” he said. “So there’s no comparison between now and 1998. Today, the fight against doping is much more precise even if you can never eradicate it completely.”Legeay said that he was heartened by what he saw at the . “I’m optimistic, albeit with all of the normal reservations you would have in any sport,” he said. “But we’re the sport that does the most testing of all and right now, I want to believe that the 2013 Tour was a good Tour.”The Tour was won by a rider whose the team is not part of the MPCC, however, with Chris Froome (Sky) carrying yellow to Paris. Speaking on the eve of Paris-Nice in March, Legeay had been critical of Sky’s decision not to sign up to the MPCC, whose measures include additional testing for corticoids and the refusal to field riders holding Therapeutic Use Exemptions for cortisone.“I’ve spoken about it with Dave Brailsford. He says they want to do more than the MPCC does because they don’t want anyone on the team who has ever had anything to do with doping,” Legeay said. “It’s sure that Sky are doing plenty of things and I have no problem with that, but I think we could all do this together to show to the public that our sport is credible. I’m disappointed because I wish Sky was part of the MPCC and working with us, maybe helping us to improve even more. Why not?“All teams are welcome in our movement. If all of the teams at the start of the Tour were part of the MPCC and operating under our rules, everything would be more credible.”<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Lawsuit filed under federal False Claims ActThe Wall Street Journal has reported that Floyd Landis has a filed a whistle-blower lawsuit under the U.S. False Claims Act, which allows citizens to sue on behalf of the U.S. government if they believe that it has been defrauded. The precise nature of Landis’ allegations is not known as the lawsuit is sealed.The U.S. government can choose to intervene in Landis’ lawsuit and pursue the case on its own behalf, while Landis would collect up to 30 percent of the money recovered by the government if the lawsuit were successful.Earlier this year, Landis made allegations of systematic doping at the U.S. Postal Service team and a federal investigation into the matter is currently ongoing, led by Jeff Novitzsky of the Food and Drug Administration. As an independent federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service sponsored the team from 1996 to the end of 2004. Between 2001 and 2004, it paid out €30.6 million in sponsorship to the team’s management company.Both Landis and the U.S. Justice Department declined to comment on the lawsuit when approached by the Wall Street Journal, while a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service stated: “Since this matter is under review by the Department of Justice, the Postal Service will have nothing to say until this review is completed.”Meanwhile, speaking to the Wall Street Journal, a spokesman for former U.S. Postal Service rider Lance Armstrong was critical of Landis’ lawsuit. “What remains a mystery is why the government would devote a penny of the taxpayer’s money to help Floyd Landis,” he said. “This news that Floyd Landis is in this for the money confirms everything we all knew about Landis.”Armstrong’s spokesman also confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Armstrong&rsquo,Cycling Jersey;s lawyers had recently met with federal prosecutors from Novitzsky’s investigation in Los Angeles. <ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Top five still possibe for Australian former Tour winnerBMC's best-placed GC rider will fight for every second in Wednesday's individual time trial in the hope of recovering from a lowly 16th place before the finish in Paris, said his team manager. Team Manager Jim Ochowicz said the team would come out fighting on the flat 33km time trial finishing in Mont-Saint-Michel in preparation for a tough final week which could deliver a mass shake-up to the GC.Currently 3:11 separate the 2011 Tour winner Evans in 16th from Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) in second. Chris Froome (Sky) has a commanding hold on yellow, a further 1:25 ahead of the Spaniard."We don't give up, the placings are going to change," said Ochowicz. "Heck, there's a lot to racing to go. The hardest part of this Tour hasn't started yet. We expect to see again a displacement of the general classification in a way that's unpredictable."The only outcome from this last weekend that was predictable was Chris Froome. Everybody else I think was a mystery, the way they had bad day, good day, bad day, good day."Ochowicz said Wednesday's time trial suits powerful TT-riders. Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) has the best chance of winning he added."Tejay [van Garderen] and Cadel are ready for the race - they're going to prepare the race, they've seen the course," he saidEvans - and van Garderen in particular - had a torrid weekend in the Pyrenees. Van Garderen suffered in the broiling heat and now lies more than half an hour behind Froome (Sky). Evans labelled stage 8 to Ax-3-Domaines the worst Tour performance of his career. He recovered on stage 9 and moved up nine places. He still believes a top five is possible according to Australian paper the Herald Sun,Cycling Jersey. <ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Frank Vandenbroucke said that he won Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 1999 "honestly", because he and all the...Frank Vandenbroucke said that in 1999 "honestly", because he and all the other top riders were all using the same doping preparations.In an interview with the Belgian men's magazine Che, he said, he won the race "in an honest manner. Because I am 100 percent certain that I had taken nothing differently that day than the second, the third, the fourth and the fifth place finishers. Everyone rode with the same thing in himself, we fought with equal weapons."Therefore it was an honest race, with an honest result. That day, or rather that year, I was the best of all. Everybody in the peloton knew it."The 34-year-old said that new drugs were introduced into the peloton by "pioneers". According to HLN.be, which reported the interview, he said that the Italian team Gewiss "was the EPO pioneer, everyone knew that. Furlan, Berzin,Cycling Clothing, Argentin ... there is a reason why at a certain moment some men are riding 10 kilometre per hour faster than the others."Vandenbroucke, who will ride this season for the Belgian-Australian Continental team Fuga-Down Under, regretted never having "had the chance to be a pioneer, to try out new doping products first." He said that if he had had the chance, he "would have done it without doubt. .... Everyone would have seized that chance. Nobody should be hypocritical about that!"Some of his major victories did come while he was not doped, Vandenbroucke insisted. In 1994 he won the Queen Stage of the Tour MÃ©diterranÃ©en, ahead of riders "with a hematocrit of 60. Mine was 42!"Vandenbroucke ranked that mountaintop finish as greater than his later win in L-B-L. "Because I fought them with unequal resource. They had been prepared by their doping doctors Michele Ferrari and Luigi Cecchini. Whereas I ...

chongchong8g on "Roberts Rebounds With Great Down Under Performance Cyclingn"

chongchong8g — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:10:46 +0000

<div id="content_main">Luck the key ingredient for a 2011 contractLuke Roberts has done his chances of finding a new professional team no harm with another top 10 overall and the mountains classification at this year's Santos Tour Down Under, which finished yesterday.The South Australian was dominant in the latter classification whilst finishing just 28 seconds behind overall winner Cameron Meyer of Garmin-Cervélo. He may have shown his class with his performance over the past week but it doesn't guarantee him a place in a professional team for this season, however.Roberts was one of Pegasus Sports' marquee riders, having made the decision to join the fledgling outfit that aimed to gain ProTour status and then changed its goal to a ProConti licence, which was not forthcoming late last year. With "nothing concrete" from Pegasus regarding a Continental ride for 2011, it's left Roberts in a sticky predicament."It's extremely stressful for the riders over the last month; the position I was in at the Tour, with so many ProTour points... I made the decision to go with the Australian pro team and be a part of the project. After what happened there are a lot of unanswered questions - I don't know whether to put the blame on the management or the blame lies with the UCI..." Roberts told Cyclingnews at the Tour Down Under in Adelaide."To me there are just unanswered questions and at the end of the day it's the riders who are the victims of the whole thing,Cycling Shorts. Some riders are lucky to get out and find spots somewhere else but there are still riders who are sitting here and have been totally burned by it."With the advent of GreenEdge Cycling, there's the possibility Roberts could aim for a ride at the team headed up by former Australian Institute of Sport director of high performance, Shayne Bannan. The former CSC rider, who has ridden the Tour de France and has an Olympic gold medal to his credit, says that the timeframe involved could hurt him, with the Australian professional outfit not beginning competition until 2012."I could try to bridge the year and see if some doors open up for next year but I've had a couple of years already in my career trying to bridge to make the next year," explained Roberts. "I then had a break with Milram and it was a lot of luck getting that contract."I had a good year with Milram - I can't say I made the money there to save up and bridge another year; I figured the year I had there should have led to other things, like securing a ProTour place but to be left empty-handed it's going to be hard to bridge another year and wait for next year. I have to hope something comes up soon."Recently it was reported that Roberts has had interest from Bjarne Riis' Saxo Bank-Sungard team; with the Dane in Australia and able to watch Roberts' strong ride in Australia last week there's a good chance he could go to the squad with which he spent three years. There's also a lifeline through Saxo Bank-Sungard directeur sportif Brad McGee, who won gold with Roberts as part of the team pursuit squad at the Athens Olympics in 2004.A call back to the fold would make a suitable birthday present for the 33-year-old, who celebrates his 34th birthday tomorrow."There's interest there, but at this stage teams are either full - their roster is full - or their budget is spent. It's basically a matter of asking a favour from a team to take on a rider," said Roberts. "It's going to be tough - I'm still working away but I'm trying to stay positive. Come next month when the house payments are due and I don't have anything there, it hurts."<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">South America: no Tour riders from an entire continentFor the first time in 27 years, there won't be any Colombian rider starting the Tour de France in Rotterdam on July 3rd. It leaves South America with no representative in the race.Oceania will have 12 (11 Australians and Julian Dean from New Zealand), North America 10 (8 Americans plus Ryder Hesjedal and Michael Barry for Canada), Africa and Asia one each (Robert Hunter and Yukiya Arashiro respectively).Juan Mauricio Soler and Leonardo Duque were the two last chances for Colombia to be represented at the Tour. However, the Caisse d'Epargne climber,Cycling Clothing, who was the king of the mountain at his first attempt in 2007, injured his left knee in a crash in stage 2 of the Dauphiné. Cofidis sprinter Duque didn't make the final selection either, as his French team preferred Damien Monier, who won a stage at the Giro d'Italia and did a great job on Sunday for David Moncoutié at the French championship."Is there someone prepared to pay 5 million euros to sponsor a Colombian team for this sad part of our cycling history not to be repeated in the future?" asked the Colombian daily newspaper El Tiempo on Monday. "I'm afraid there isn't anyone," answered Androni-Diquigiovanni team manager Gianni Savio. "I have tried all I could to put together a South American team with Colombia-Selle Italia and by registering my team in Venezuela. I've linked it with ministers and sponsors with no success."Androni-Diquigiovanni is now an Italian team with a South American flavour thanks to Colombia's José Serpa and Venezuelans Carlos Ochoa and Jackson Rodriguez but it's not a Tour de France team. "South Americans nowadays can only hope for a start in a team in Europe," Savio explained to Cyclingnews."There are some good riders from Colombia, Venezuela but also Brazil and Argentina. But there's no big champion around right now. It's a real pity to see the Tour de France starting without any of them. When I first took my team to the Tour with Lucien van Impe in 1985, there was Café de Colombia with Lucho Herrera who was doing great."The biggest highlight of my career as a team manager came with the stage win of Cacaito Rodriguez in Val-Thorens ahead of Piotr Ugrumov and Marco Pantani in 1994. Unfortunately, there's not much space left for this kind of romantic cycling anymore. South America is a victim of the globalization of the sport."The first Colombian to participate in the Tour was Martin "Cochise" Rodriguez with Bianchi in 1975 (27th) but the history of Colombians at the Tour de France began in earnest in 1983, one year after race director Félix Lévitan announced at the start in Basel, Switzerland, that the race would become "open," which meant open to amateur teams as well as pro teams. This was an attempt to attract Soviet countries but only Colombia answered the call. It was enough to create history for more than a quarter of a century.66 different Colombian riders have started the Tour de France since 1983. Fabio Parra holds the record for most participations with 8. He didn't miss a Tour from 1985 to 1992 and is the only Colombian to have made the final podium to date (1988). Lucho Herrera started 7Tours, finishing them all and winning the polka dot jersey twice (1985 and 1987).Santiago Botero was also the king of the mountains in 2000. The only Colombian to have worn the yellow jersey was Victor Hugo Peña for three days in 2003 following US Postal's win in the team time trial on stage 4.32 Colombian journalists covered the 1983 Tour de France, most of them being enthusiastic and loud radio reporters. The radio tribune of the Tour de France has unfortunately become much quieter despite the ever growing number of reporters. South America may shine at the football World Cup these days but not, it seems, in cycling.<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">World champion Tom Boonen (Quick.Step) will be the number one favourite for Sunday's Belgian title... World champion Tom Boonen (Quick.Step) will be the number one favourite for Sunday's Belgian title in Antwerpen. But the 25 year-old sprinter also realises it will be one of the toughest races for him to win. Not because the parcours is particularly mountainous - even the bridges are flat - but because he will be marked by everyone. "It remains for me one of the most difficult races to win, but I will chance it again," he told Sportwereld.be. "I would love to be Belgian champion in my own province." Boonen's only national road title was five years ago when he won the U23 championship in Tessenderlo in a bunch sprint. "I hope for a similar scenario, but which Belgian wants to go with Boonen to the finish now?" Boonen reckoned that winning the Ronde van Vlaanderen was actually easier than the Belgian championship. Not only because of being marked, but also because of its position on the calendar. "On the day of the BK, I always come out of a period where I have done a lot of work with an eye on the Tour. I've never felt that good during one of these professional championships. Heavy legs." Boonen said that he understood why Peter van Petegem still hasn't won a Belgian championship, as no-one wants to ride to the finish with someone of that calibre. And if he waits at the back of the peloton, then it's highly likely that a large group will get away, never to be seen again. "Maybe one day I'll be Belgian champion on a hard parcours, in a place where no-one expects me. Still, I will start hyper motivated, although this race is much more difficult to control than a classic. It's hard to pull for 250 kilometres until everyone is off my wheel." Although there are several teams with large numbers of riders, the race isn't usually run as a standard pro team race. As one experienced competitor noted to Cyclingnews this week,Cycling Shorts, in a team of 24, you can have 23 who fancy themselves as winners. The Belgian championship - the ultimate kermis race - will be run over a 246.6 km course, consisting of a loop of 53 km followed by 16 laps of a 12.1 km circuit. <ul class="article_tools"> <dl class="meta"><dt>Tags:</dt><dd></dd></dl></div>

By Hernan Alvarez Macias in Granada Francisco Antequera is the Spanish national team coach. He is in Granada for the Vuelta a EspaÃ±a paying a lot attention to the Spanish riders who will start racing tomorrow. The World Championships in Madrid are just one month away. On Thursday, Antequera gave a list of 14 riders the would represent Spain in the road race and time trial: Miguel Angel Martin Perdiguero (Phonak), Santos Gonzalez (Phonak), Francisco Mancebo (Illes Balears), Jose Ivan Gutierrez (Illes Balears), Isidro Nozal (Liberty-WÃ¼rth), Luis Leon Sanchez (Liberty-WÃ¼rth), Aitor Gonzalez (Euskaltel), Constantino Zaballa (Saunier Duval), David Blanco (Comunidad Valenciana), Ruben Plaza (Comunidad Valenciana), Juan Antonio Flecha (Fassa Bortolo), Luis Perez (Cofidis), Benjamin Noval (Discovery Channel) and Xavier Florencio (Relax-Fuenlabrada). Cyclingnews caught up with him in the press room and asked him about the team, which has suffered a few losses of late. "So far, we are fine," said Antequera. "We should consider that Oscar Freire won't be there; he was an important rider inside the outfit and gave prestige and greatness to the team. His absence should be substituted by another rider. We still have expectations and a good team though." Unfortunately for the Spanish,Cycling Clothing, Alejandro Valverde is not in good condition either, and it's unlikely that he will race in Madrid. "I talked to him yesterday," said Antequera. "Right now his presence is uncertain. At first, he will do the Tour of Poland, but I think that won't be enough to come to the World's in good condition. Last year he rested, he competed at the Vuelta a Burgos, he won it, but then in the Olympics he didn't have the competition tempo. So, I think Poland will be scarce for Valverde. So far, there are not great hopes." Without Valverde and Freire, the question is who will be the strong man inside the team for the victory in a bunch sprint. "There are some riders like [Juan Antonio] Flecha, [Igor] Astarloa, [Miguel Angel Martin] Perdiguero, even [Angel] Vicioso. In case Valverde doesn't ride, his substitution would be Vicioso and the team boss would be Perdiguero. Perdiguero is the fastest rider from the squad." <ul class="article_tools"> <dl class="meta"><dt>Tags:</dt><dd></dd></dl></div>

Now the WorldTour has taken notice. Haga told Cyclingnews on Wednesday that he has signed with a division-one squad for 2013, but the 24-year-old Texan wouldn't reveal which squad he'll be riding for."I have signed for a ProTour team for next year," he said. "I'll do a couple of big European campaigns and also get to come back and race Tour of California, Colorado. So I'll get to do some racing in the states as well. But,Men Cycling Jersey, yeah, I'm moving up to the big leagues."Haga, who is in his second full season with US Continental team, started 2013 with a win in the at the Redlands Cycling Classic in April. He followed that with a trip to Portugal and the Volta ao Alentejo, where he finished second overall. Haga took his first National Race Calendar overall win at the before riding to a 10th place finish at the Tour of California. He won the prologue time trial at the Tour of Elk Grove, a UCI 2.1 stage race in the suburbs of Chicago, just last week before heading west for this week's Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.The results caught the attention of the squad he'll be riding for next year, and a contract offer soon followed."It's still surreal," Haga said. "It hasn't really set in that everything is working out properly and I'm getting the opportunity I've been trying for. I really don't know how to explain it. It's like, Ok there's one goal realized. Now what?"Haga will finish out the Utah race before heading to the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado with Optum at the end of the month and then onto the Tour of Alberta. He said he hopes to keep piling up the results in the US before he heads to Europe next year."I still have racing on the calendar, and I want to take every opportunity to repay my team for everything they've done for me," said Haga, who added that he was still a bit conflicted about whether the news adds more pressure to perform or less."Yeah, I have to prove that I'm worthy," he said.

The American team has confirmed to Cyclingnews that Bobby Julich has joined the team full time as a trainer and that they’re still on the look-out for another sports director.In terms of the rider roster, they have signed Peter Velits but General Manager Jim Ochowicz has confirmed that they are still looking to recruit more riders for 2014, while the future of Marco Pinotti’s place on the team looks to be in the balance.The departure of Lelangue, coming less than 24 hours after the Tour de France, came as somewhat of a surprise. Rumblings of discontent had been rumoured during the Tour, but Ochowicz declined to confirm any such speculation, only wishing Lelangue luck for the future.The departure of Lelangue has left the team short of directors, a matter reinforced after Max Sciandri broke his arm at the end of July. It has meant that Allan Peiper has had to take over responsibilities in the team car.“Temporarily Alan Peiper is filling is as a DS for us. John left after the Tour, but we also have Sciandri down as he broke his arm. He’s had surgery but he’s not been able to be DS since after the Tour,” Ochowicz told Cyclingnews.“We’re not commenting on it,” Ochowicz said when asked further about Lelangue’s departure.“John decided that it was time to try something else. Those things happen in sport and we wish him luck. He’s a very capable person, and he’s been around the sport for many years and in a number of different capacities. Again we wish him luck in whatever his next venture is.”When asked if the decision to leave the team had in fact been Lelangue’s, Ochowicz would only add that, “Like I said, we’re not commenting on it. We had a press release, and John resigned from the team.” The departure of Lelangue has been balanced out to some degree with the . The former rider joined the team in May of this year on a short-term contact after being let go by Sky in the wake of USADA’s investigation.“He was hired part time to work as part of the performance group that Alan runs. Within that, we have four coaches for the riders and we also have a nutritionist,Cycling Jerseys, two chefs, another person we hired as trainer and Bobby has now joined us as a full-time trainer,” Ochowicz said.That still leaves the team one team director short, according to Ochowicz.“We need five sports directors, and we have four right now and we’ll need to hire one more to fill that vacancy. How that’s structured, it’s too early to decide. It depends on the person we bring in.”Rider rosterWhile Ochowicz has been busy recruiting directors, he has also been working in the rider transfer market. With Vacansoleil and Euskaltel set to pull out of the sport, the market has been swamped by a clutch of riders without squads for 2014. BMC have signed Peter Velits from Omega Pharma-QuickStep, along with two U23 riders, one of whom is Erik Zabel’son.Ochowicz confirmed that the team are still on the look out for more signings, preferably climbers, but his hand may be twisted by who stays and who goes. Pinotti does not have a contract for next season and Ochowicz added that the veteran rider’s future is still in the balance.“Pinotti is still undecided. He’s working on his next goal, which is the Worlds. He’ll be doing some more racing with us over the next few months, but I think he’s debating it in his own mind. It’s a decision that all riders must face in their careers, and I don’t want to be the one that pushes someone. It’s a personal decision and one that riders usually talk about with their families. I don’t have the answer to that at the moment.”Asked if he wanted to keep Pinotti on the team, Ochowicz said, “Only if he’s absolutely motivated to do it and he’s healthy to do it. He’s had a couple of pretty difficult crashes here in the last year and that’s always a worry for me.”One rider with a contract for next season is Alessandro Ballan. However the former world champion has struggled with his health since a major crash at the end of last year left him with several injuries.“Ballan is on the team for next year. He’s still struggling with his injuries from last December. We’re still monitoring that but it’s something that’s above our ability to diagnose so he’s being treated by a specialist. He’s had several surgeries and injuries since the crash that need to be looked at from a medical level, not a sports level.”“He’s still struggling with that. He was going to do Eneco but he’s out because he might be facing other issues with that. It’s a difficult situation for us and for him, and he’s not been on the roster very much for us this year. I hope he’ll be on the roster next year, but right now we need to get him going this year, but we keep having road blocks.”Cyclingnews understands that Taylor Phinney has re-signed with the team, with his initial three-year contract set to expire at the end of 2013. Ochowicz would not confirm this however.“We always looked at him as a long term investment, as we have with Tejay van Garderen. I don’t want to comment on that future yet, but there’s no reason as to why he would be leaving. I’m hopeful that at some point we’ll make his position with his known but not at the moment.”<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Australian team applying for Professional Continental statusFollowing Friday's that a wildcard will be offered for an Australian-registered UCI Professional Continental team in 2014, say they are confident of being able to meet the eligibility criteria.Tour Down Under officials will allow Drapac – who are set to apply for an upgrade to their current UCI Continental status in coming weeks – to start at the WorldTour event so long as they meet the following conditions: The team secures a UCI Pro Continental License for 2014; that the team is acknowledged by the UCI as an Australian team; and the team is registered as a Movement for Credible Cycling (MPCC) team, whereby MPCC teams impose stricter anti-doping measures beyond the World Anti-Doping Agency Code.Drapac's team manager Jonathan Breekveldt said that he believes that the team will earn it's long-awaited start at the Tour Down Under."We are already in the application process for a UCI Professional Continental licence for 2014, which is a process that takes several months and begun some time ago," he said. "We have so far met all of the deadlines successfully in the application and in our most recent submission requested Australia registration. As we are currently members of the MPCC we have already satisfied two of the criteria today. So the wildcard will be contingent on the licence and I am sure we will receive this."Breekveldt continued by trumpeting the benefits such a move by race organisers would have on the domestic Australian race scene."The opportunity to compete in the 2014 Tour Down Under is very exciting and will offer great reward and activation opportunities to all involved with DPC [Drapac Professional Cycling] like we have never seen for an Australian team," he explained. "Not only will this outcome benefit the team competing but also the wider domestic cycling community as a pathway has now been created linking the National Road Series to the Tour Down Under.""This decision is one, which will leave a constructive legacy on Australian Cycling where we will all benefit for many years."Drapac's domestic season continues next week at round seven of the National Road Series,Cycling Jersey, the Tour of the Great South Coast, next week. Given the team's lofty goals for the season ahead, Drapac have extra reason to be motivated for the race."We have selected possibly the strongest team we have ever fielded in Australia if not the strongest team ever seen at a NRS race," Breekveldt said.Drapac's Tour of the Great South Coast team: Darren Lapthorne, William Walker, Bernard Sulzberger, Luke Davison, Floris Goesinnen, Robbie Hucker, Gordon McCauley, Thomas Palmer. <ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Former WADA chief says UCI is "in denial"Dick Pound, the former boss of the World Anti-Doping Agency has continued to voice his doubt over the amount of clean riders in the peloton in the wake of a report he co-authored on the ineffectiveness of the current anti-doping programs in various sports around the world.In an interview with , Pound made comments which fly in the face of statements made last week by UCI President Pat McQuaid where the Irishman said that "I'm the beginning of the new guard because since I came in eight years ago."According to Pound, cycling joins a number of sports which are governed by people unwilling to acknowledge the truth about the use of performance-enhancing drugs."This isn't people ranked at No 300 taking drugs to boost them up the rankings, it's the people at the top who have used drugs to get there," the 71-year-old Canadian lawyer said. "I believe it's happening across sports. It's clear that cycling, athletics, swimming, tennis and soccer have major problems and are ruled by governing bodies in denial."The report ranked cycling sixth on the list of sports that record the most positive tests, where of 20,624 samples 270 (or 1.31%) returned a positive test. Weightlifting topped the list with 2.91%, followed by boxing, equestrian,Cycling Shorts, rugby and curling.Pound, who has previously questioned the UCI’s claim that the organisation was , said that he does not believe cycling has changed since the Armstrong era and refuses to watch the Tour de France."As an event, I don't believe what I see," Pound explained.

Greipel added that if he could, he would share the jersey with teammate and close friend Marcel Sieberg.National championships “have their own rules,” he wrote on his personal website, “and so can't be compared with other races. And when only two riders from a team are there, it is harder to control against smaller teams with a much larger squad.“So I am overjoyed and proud that I will be able to wear the jersey with the black-red-gold stripes at the . Believe me: that is something very special!”As he mentioned, Greipel was in the race with only teammate Sieberg at his side. “Actually I should cut it (the jersey) in the middle and give half of it to 'Sibi*, because he was the one who not only held the group under control, but nearly won the title himself. He was caught only 700 meters before the finish line, which let me win the sprint, and so in the end we worked together perfectly.”Greipel said that Sunday's race in Wengen was a good test for the Tour. “The preparations worked out well and I am looking forward to a hopefully exciting duel with my rivals. At any rate, on the German side some of the stages should really be exciting,” he noted, as two of his top rivals are German sprinters Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb of Argos-Shimano.<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

In Maldegem today, he said it was tactics that won him the race."I cut the last turn sharp in order to reduce the speed. Icannot beat Nys at full speed, but thanks to an explosive acceleration out of the last corner I could,"he said.A close second place wasn't a bad result for Nys,Cycling Shorts, considering he had only arrived in Belgium the previous morning and had spent much of the day celebrating with his family and hometown fans."I partied until half past twelve with my fans in Baal,"Nys said.

I could have changed my whereabouts for something better later in the day, but I didn't think to do it."The new world champion said he was racing on euphoria. "I could immediately take the initiative, because I felt was much better than expected.

<div id="content_main">Update: Will serve six-month suspension as set out in Dutch anti-doping agreementRudi Kemna, directeur sportif at , has said that he used EPO in 2003 whilst riding for Bankgiroloterij. His current team said that it supported his decision to make the confession, but that he will be suspended as required under an agreement with the Dutch cycling federation. Former Bankgiroloterij team management said that it had suspicions,Cycling Jersey, but knew nothing.Kemna, 45, told nusport.nl that he used EPO in the spring of 2003, with the drug supplied by the team doctor. “I knew it was forbidden and yet I took the step,” he said.He started using it, he said, when the team in 2002 hired a new manager, Johan Capiot, and signed a number of experienced riders. That changed the atmosphere of the team, he said, with Capiot introducing “green zones,” when riders using EPO were not to race.Kemna stopped using the drug after Gent-Wevelgem 2003, being panicked and feeling himself fooled. “How could I be so stupid?” he asked. He went on to win the Dutch national road title that year, but insists he won it clean.The EPO was purchased for him by team doctor Peter Janssen, he said. Neither Janssen nor Capiot responded to the newspaper.Kemna said that he decided to reveal his doping past because he wants to show the current Argos-Shimano riders how the cycling and doping culture has changed. “I hope my story and a little insight can contribute to that change, so that we have more guys on the right side and we can prevent them from having to make choices that they do not want to make, as I have done."Six month suspension but with team supportIn a statement issued Thursday morning, the team said that Kemna's decision to come forward was made in November, in conjunction with team management and sponsors.It applauded his decision and said “it appreciates the transparency Rudi Kemna displayed and hopes that this will have enough impact to contribute to the most significant task that is facing competitive cycling at present: that for this and the next generation of cyclists, match outcomes can only be determined on the basis of talent, efforts and tactics, supported by modern coaching, guidance and innovation.”However, Kemna will also face a suspension of six months, as required by an agreement by the Dutch cycling federation, the Dutch Doping Authority and the three Dutch WorldTour teams. Kemna also requested that this step be taken.“Kemna furthermore stated that he thought it appropriate for him to be struck off after publicly sharing his experiences, simply because doping is not allowed and Kemna does not want to dodge his own responsibility, thereby also giving a signal to the outside world. The team respects this request and will lay off Kemna on the same basis as the penalties stated in the agreement between the two other Dutch cycling teams and the Dutch Cycling Union.”Update: “He proposed the suspension himself,” team spokesman Geert Broekhuizen told Cyclingnews Thursday evening. “He has agreed to the six-month sanction specified in the covenant signed by the Dutch teams and the Dutch federation and Doping Authority.“It is only uncertain when the sanction will start.”Bankgiroloterij manager and team leader respondArend Schippink, Bankgiroloterij general manager from 1999 to 2004, said he knew nothing about doping at the team, but admitted that he may have been “naive” about it. “Maybe a little, yes.”He also said that he changed his mind about Capiot after hiring him. “He tried to take things over behind my back. He was a deceitful little man,” Scheppink told Nusport. “If I had been allowed to so so, then Capiot would never have worked a day for me. Capiot was for me a loser.”Former team leader Piet Hoekstra also said that he “did not know” about doping at the team, but that “I had suspicions. Serious suspicions.”He added, “What could I accomplish if I did know, what do I get from it when I'm fighting a battle? (....) It was fighting a losing battle and I was voice crying in the wilderness.”<ul class="article_tools"> </div>

<div id="content_main">Podium place was possible, says FrenchmanDarling of the French public after spending ten days in yellow at the Tour de France, (Europcar) has admitted that tactical errors on the road to Alpe d’Huez cost him a place on the podium. While he insisted that winning the race outright was never possible, he was disappointed by the manner in which he lost the jersey and dropped to 4th on the final mountain stage.“I never believed in Tour victory,” Voeckler told . “That’s not a bluff,Cycling Jerseys, but I did seriously believe in the podium. After Plateau de Beille, I said to myself that there was no reason why I lose more ground in the mountains.”When Alberto Contador attacked on the Col du Télégraphe in the opening kilometres of , Voeckler opted to give chase by himself. The yellow jersey continued his lone pursuit over the top of the next climb, the Col du Galibier, before eventually waiting for a group containing three of his Europcar teammates on the descent. On the final haul to Alpe d’Huez, Voeckler was finally dispossessed of his yellow jersey.“With a clear head, I’d say that I lost second place at the Tour on the Col du Galibier. I shouldn’t have tried to follow Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck at all costs,” he said. “If I had finished in the same time as Cadel Evans… But I lacked clarity. My directeur sportif should have ordered me to stop. It was an error, but that’s how it was.”Voeckler had put up a surprisingly stout defence of his yellow jersey in the Pyrenees, but with the benefit of hindsight, he harbours some regrets that he didn’t take greater advantage of his form at that point.“The was truly extraordinary,” he said. “I was surprised to be there. I was asking myself how I would manage to follow all of the attacks. Pierre Rollland set the tempo at the start of the climb even though he was less good than at Luz-Ardiden, where he was the boss.”As it turned out, Voeckler finished safely with the overall contenders, and was the first to respond to Ivan Basso’s pressing in the final kilometres. “Today I think I could have done better that day if I’d had more confidence in my potential,” he said. “I didn’t exploit all of the possibilities.”<ul class="article_tools"> </div>
