Big announcement ... UCI earthquake ...

The Pro-Tour is dead !

UCI and other race organizers (like ASO etc.) strike a deal for a 2011 joined calendar, and the new UCI 2011 race series wil carry the name: World Classification which will replace the Pro-Tour.

So there you have it the whole thing is going to be reshuffeld, and no guarantee of team participation in any grand tour for 2011 in advance, and there will be one ranking again.

This is the outcome of the usual deliberations in the week before Worlds, when the calendar for 2011 is on the agenda.

Hein Verbruggen claims in the Dutch press today, that the feud between ASO and UCI is finally resolved.

Can you link to any sources for any of this?

It was in the AD (Dutch news paper) yesterday. They had an interview with Hein Verbruggen, which wasn't really interesting.
