If I'm not mistaken, he said he was gonna have a training camp at altitude just after MSR.Jspear said:Has he done any altitude training yet?
Yes, Slongo said two weeks on Teide. Everything is going according to the plan.huge said:If I'm not mistaken, he said he was gonna have a training camp at altitude just after MSR.Jspear said:Has he done any altitude training yet?

If they lose their WT licence, they get a Continental licence AND he stays with Astana, No.indianfanboy said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/report-astana-to-lose-worldtour-licence
will Nibali be able to ride the Tour now ??
Doubt Lampre could afford him, unless he would accept massively reduced wages. I think they'd definitely be interested in Aru though.King Boonen said:If they lose their WT licence, they get a Continental licence AND he stays with Astana, No.indianfanboy said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/report-astana-to-lose-worldtour-licence

I'm guessing he must have a clause in his contract to move teams if they drop out of the WT, but who could he go to? Lampre? I think they have space for 3 riders so Nibali and a couple of helpers. Not looking good though.
He may have to if he wants to ride...DFA123 said:Doubt Lampre could afford him, unless he would accept massively reduced wages.

I can think of around 4 millions reasons. If he has to leave Astana, then he's not going to get close to that salary again. He may be happy to write off a year, take the money, and move teams in the winter.screaming fist said:Why wouldn't he accept less/close to no salary? Signing a deal for the rest of the year with e.g. Lampre might be his only chance to ride the Tour. 2016 is another story.
If he's smart, there's a clause in his contract where he can move teams and Astana pick up the short fall...DFA123 said:I can think of around 4 millions reasons.

Hopefully not, as it would be a shame not to have the defending champ at the Tour. In any case though, I'd be surprised if he wasn't there with Astana.
They cannot. World Tour and Pro-Continental teams only and the new article suggests they will only be allowed to apply for a Continental licence.huge said:This is utterly ridiculous, withdrawing the license in April, when the racing season is well underway and just a month before the Giro.
Anyway, even without a WT license, I'm pretty sure the Giro organizers would grant them a wildcard. Different story for TdF, which almost certainly they wouldn't be able to take part in.
I'm curious to know what are Nibali's contract details. If in such a situation he is allowed to end it.
Unlike Kutasha was never given the license in the first place, Astana was awarded the license. Normally during the appealing process, Astana is still a world Tour team, in theory Astana should still automatically get invited to any GT during this time period until CAS gives out the final ruling which most likely CAS will favor Astana because of the grossly unjust procedure taken by the UCI.huge said:This is utterly ridiculous, withdrawing the license in April, when the racing season is well underway and just a month before the Giro.

He wants to suspend him?ICEROCK said:OMG, rumor on the street is Oleg is approaching Nibali's agent.
