No, he can't. He has worldwide ban to 31st December 2011.

He's been banned in Italy since 2009.

Quizás empiece la temporada sin un líder, pero puede que alguno de los corredores que tengo exploten antes de que acabe el año y se convierta en figura.

That can only mean Urán is staying. There's no one else in the team who can do that.
(OK, maybe Soler)

Garcia Acosta.. domestique per example, indeed. Is often in the Tour of Flanders escape-of-the-day (at least twice in the last three years). For only his face he deserves a lifelong contract

As regards the Colombian (Urán), several teams have him as a target, and he has a generous offer from Sky, but [Caisse/Movistar] trust that he will stay, and have far from given up hope of retaining him.

Yeah, that's why I've started leaving in the original language so people can interpret if they like. Thanks

Since when has the Tour de San Luis become Pro Tour, and if it did, then it would be a crying shame.

 

[roundabout]

Since when has the Tour de San Luis become Pro Tour, and if it did, then it would be a crying shame.

It hasn't become Pro Tour. The article only says that due to the UCI regulations the only stage races Movistar can enter are Tour de San Luis and California as they are 2.1 and above and for the rest of the races they will have to field a continental team.

 

[craig1985]

The translation of the article was really confusing. With all the money google have, or spend, you would think they could throw some serious coin at some proper translators.

Correct the BIB is 61 and it says

It's just a reminder that the dude Bruseghin was very unlucky all year long, had to abandon both grand tours hopes he started this year, due to crashes caused not by him, so that his transformation to a Movistar will do miracles next year.


Now you won the prize Czerstwy Witold and will advence to the next level.
