maltiv said:Alexander Kristoff not allowed to start the TDU because the UCI hasn't bothered to test him 4 times for the Biological passport (he doesn't have one as he was continental last year), thus they don't allow him to start, or do any races whatsoever before they have done it. So far they have done...0 tests.
Could take some time. UCI is amazing. No, really.
I suspect Andreas Stauff (Quick Step) is not starting for the same reason
