NewsFlash - Aktuelles, Twitter & weitere NeuigkeitenInfo: TOUR DE FRANCE 2010Autor: Roman Sikorra (freire) & Leon Senner (Leon) Die Straßensaison im Radsport neigt sich dem Ende entgegen und auch der Live-Radsport NewsFlash wird sich nun einen kleinen Winterschlaf gönnen und erstmal eine Pause einlegen. Sonntag, 17. Oktober 07:00 In Belgien wurde heute Abend die "Trofee van de Nieuwsblad Flandrien" verliehen. Ein Preis speziell für Radsportler. In der Kategorie der belgischen Männer Elite gewann Lombardei Sieger Philippe Gilbert vor Tom Boonen und Jurgen van den Broeck. Bester internationaler Profi wurde Fabian Cancellara. Weitere Preise gingen an Liesbet De Vocht (Elite Frauen), Yannick Eijssen (Männer u23), Jasper Stuyven (Männer Junioren) und Joachim Vanreyten (bester Neuling). 06:30 Ein unschönes Saisonende gibt es für Jan Bakelants (Omega Pharma) und Francesco di Paolo (Acqua & Sapone). Beide stürzten während der Lombardei Rundfahrt. Der Belgier Bakelants brach sich den linken Arm und di Paolo den Oberschenkel 06:00 Nachdem in den letzten Tagen bekannt wurde, dass der Giro d'Italia 2011 erneut den Monte Zoncolan ansteuert, ist nun auch die Cima Coppi, die höchste Bergwertung, bekannt. Es geht auf den 2236 Meter hohen Passo di Giau. Mit mehreren schweren Bergen (u.a. noch dem Passo Fedaia) könnte diese Etappe zur Königsetappe des Giros werden. Samstag, 16. Oktober 06:00 Manche Fahrer der Operacion Puerto konnten unbehelligt weiterfahren, andere wurden gesperrt und wiederum andere verschwanden in der Versenkung, wie zum Beispiel Francisco Mancebo. Nun schreibt newcyclingpathway.com, dass Mancebo erst von seinem sportlichen Leiter Eusebio Unzue dazu gedrängt wurde zu Fuentes zu gehen und dann dort oft nur mit Placebos "gedopt" wurde. Dies zumindest sagt José Luis Merino Batres (führte in seinem Labor Dopingtests für Fuentes durch), welcher den Betrug an Mancebo immer noch sehr bedauert. 06:00 Fahrerstreik abgesagt? Es scheint als habe ein Fahrerstreik gegen Ettore Torri vor der Lombardei-Rundfahrt keine 100% Rückendeckung unter den Fahrern. Unter anderem zeigten sich HTC-Profi Marco Pinotti und Garmin-Manager Jonathan Vaughters nicht sehr begeistert von dieser Aktion. Für Ersatz ist allerdings auch schon gesorgt. So werden einige Fahrer Sticker mit der Aufschrift "Io corro con il cuore" (Ich fahre mit meinem Herzen) auf ihren Helmen aufkleben. Freitag, 15. Oktober 06:00 Die Lombardei Rundfahrt wird am Samstag aufgrund eines Fahrerstreiks mit zehn Minuten Verspätung beginnen. Grund dafür sind die Aussagen des Chefanklägers des italienischen Olympischen Komittees Ettore Torri. Dieser hatte letzte Woche jeden Fahrer des Dopings bezichtigt. Donnerstag, 14. Oktober 06:00 Der amerikanische Radhersteller Specialized wird auch im kommenden Jahr das Team Astana mit Rädern beliefern. Ein zusätzliches Engagement beim Team HTC - Highroad ist deshalb aber noch nicht ausgeschlossen, in diesem Jahr war Specialized Lieferant für Astana und Saxo Bank. Das neugegründete Team Pegasus wird im nächsten Jahr auf Rädern der Marke Scott fahren. Scott beliefert bis zum Jahresende noch HTC - Columbia. Mittwoch, 13. Oktober 06:00 Durch den Gewinn der Campionato Italiano, einer nationalen Rennserie in Italen, hat das Team Androni Giocattoli bereits jetzt eine Wildcard für den Giro d'Italia 2011 sicher. Die Italienrundfahrt 2011 wird am 23. Oktober in Turin vorgestellt. Dienstag, 12. Oktober 06:00 Niki Terpstra wird Ende Oktober bei den Sixdays in Amsterdam am Start stehen. Sein Partner ist kein Geringerer als der Schweizer Franco Marvulli. Zusammen wollen sie die Vorjahressieger Roger Kluge und Robert Bartko vom Thron stoßen. Montag, 11. Oktober 06:00 Wenige Tage bevor die Straßensaison in Europa ihr Ende findet, musste Luis Angel Mate seine Saison schon beenden. Der Androni Fahrer brach sich das Schlüsselbein. Über das Saisonende freuen dürfte sich hingegen Davide Malarcarne (Quick Step). Der junge Italiener leidet seit einigen Monaten am Pfeifferschen Drüsenfieber, was auch erklären sollte, warum der Gewinner einer Etappe der Katalonien-Rundfahrt nach gutem Saisonbeginn in der zweiten Saisonhälfte schwächer unterwegs war. Sonntag, 10. Oktober 06:00 Am Ende seiner sportlichen Karriere wird Lance Armstrong zu seinen Anfängen zurückkehren. 15 Monate nach seiner letzten Tour de France möchte der Amerikaner am Ironman Triathlon auf Hawaii starten. Ob die Tour de France 2010 allerdings seine letzte sei, ließ Armstrong dieses Mal offen, nachdem er im Juli verkündet hatte, nie wieder bei der Tour de France zu starten. Samstag 9. Oktober Der Baske Koldo Fernandez ist bei Paris-Bourges schwer gestürzt. Der Euskaltel Fahrer brach sich unter anderem das Schlüsselbein und verlor drei Zähne. 06:00 Alessandro Colo (ehemals ISD - Neri) wurde heute vom CONI für ein Jahr gesperrt. Colo wurde bei der letzten Mexiko Rundfahrt positiv auf Clenbuterol getestet, der gleiche Wirkstoff also, welcher Alberto Contador momentan einige Probleme bereitet. Freitag, 8. Oktober 06:00 Der frischgebackene Weltmeister Thor Hushovd wird sein neues Regenbogentrikot am 14 Oktober beim Giro del Piemonte und am 16. Oktober bei der Lombardei Rundfahrt erstmals im Rennen tragen. Donnerstag, 7. Oktober 06:00 Das Bekleidungsunternehmen Columbia wird den Sponsorenvertrag mit dem Team HTC - Columbia nicht verlängern. Das Team des US-Amerikaners Bob Stapelton wird im nächsten Jahr HTC - High Road heißen. 06:00 Für Vacansoleil gibt es hingegen einen zusätzlichen Sponsor. Im nächsten Jahr wird das Team Vacansoleil-DCM heißen. Der belgische Düngemittelhersteller unterschrieb für drei Jahre. Mittwoch, 6. Oktober 06:00 Einer der sportlichen Leiter des Cervelo Test Teams, Jean-Paul van Poppel, wechselt zur neuen Saison zum Team Vacansoleil. 06:00 Der Australier Jack Bobridge hat am ersten Tag der Commonwealth Games die Goldmedaille in der Einerverfolgung gewonnen. Der Garmin Profi setzte sich gegen Jesse Sergent (Neuseeland) und Michael Hepburn (Australien) durch. Dienstag, 5. Oktober 06:00 Alexandr Vinokourov will sich im nächsten Jahr noch einmal auf den Gesamtsieg der Tour de France fokussieren. Der Kasache baut dabei vor allem auf die Hilfe von Astana Neuzugang Roman Kreuziger. Der Tscheche soll dafür die Kapitänsrolle beim Giro d'Italia einnehmen, welchen Vinokourov 2011 auslassen möchte. Montag, 4. Oktober 06:00 Mark Renshaw ist der nächste hochkarätige Fahrer, der die Commonwealth Games in Indien absagt. Anfang des Jahres litt der Australier am Pfeifferschen Drüsenfieber und er wolle sich nun mehr der Erholung widmen. Renshaw wird vom neuen u23 Weltmeister Michael Matthews ersetzt. Sonntag, 3. Oktober 06:00 Der 68 Jährige Bruno Genevois wird Pierre Bordry als Vorsitzender der französischen Antidoping Agentur ablösen. Bordy war Ende September zurückgetreten, als Gründe nannte er unter anderem das zu geringe Budget, welches effektive Dopingbekämpfung nicht zu lasse. Samstag, 2. Oktober 06:00 Die spanische Mountainbikerin Marga Fullana wurde bei der MTB-Weltmeisterschaft in Kanada vor einem Monat positiv auf Epo getestet. Fullana war mehrfache Weltmeisterin und gewann die Bronzemedaille bei den Olympischen Spielen 2000. Freitag, 1. Oktober 06:00 Das italienische Team Liquigas Doimo wird im nächsten Jahr Liquigas Cannondale heißen. Der US-amerikanische Radhersteller ist bereits seit vier Jahren der Radsponsor des Teams. In Zukunft möchte man noch enger zusammenarbeiten und auch neue Produkte durch die Fahrer testen lassen. Donnerstag, 30. September 06:00 Robert Hunter (Garmin) wird nicht an der WM in Australien teilnehmen. Dies entschied der Südafrikaner nach einer Besichtigung des Kurses, den Hunter für zu selektiv hielt. An den demnächst stattfindenden Commonwealth Games wird er jedoch teilnehmen. Mittwoch, 29. September 06:00 Der Schweizer Hubert Schwab hat seine Karriere beendet. Er wird sich nun seinem Studium in Basel widmen. Dienstag, 28. September 06:00 Die beiden Teams Ceramica Flaminia und de Rosa werden zum nächsten Jahr fusionieren. Als Teamanager soll Fabio Bordonali (momentan de Rosa) fungieren. Über mögliche Fahrer des Teams ist noch nichts bekannt. Montag, 27. September 06:00 Der erst 22-jährige Däne Daniel Kreutzfeldt wird seine Karriere beenden. Er hat nicht mehr genügend Motivation für den Radsport und wird nun Elektriker. Sonntag, 26. September 18:20 Grischa Janorschke vom Team Nutrixxion Sparkasse hat die dritte Austragung des City Giro in Rellingen gewonnen. Zweiter auf dem 66 Runden langen Rundkurs wurde der Tscheche Jan Simek vor Andreas Stauff. Grischa Janorschke und Jan Simek konnten sich kurz nach dem Start absetzen und schafften es dem Feld eine Runde abzunehmen. 06:00 Mit Xacobeo zieht sich ein weiterer Sponsor aus dem Radsport zurück. Das Team Xacobeo Galicia wird aller Voraussicht nach aufgelöst. Hoffnung gibt es allerdings für das Team Bbox. Am Montag möchte Jean-René Bernaudeau sich zu der Sponsorensuche äußern. Als ein möglicher Sponsor für 2011 gilt auch die Bank Caisse d'Epargne, welche momentan noch das spanische Team von Eusebio Unzue sponsert. Samstag, 25. September 06:00 Neben der Rallye Dakar wird im nächsten Jahr noch ein weiteres A.S.O. Event in Argentinien stattfinden. Der Veranstalter der Tour de France wird eine viertägige Rundfahrt im Oktober in Argentinien ausrichten. 06:00 Mit Gregory Henderson hat schon der fünfte Sky Fahrer seine Teilnahme an den Commonwealth Games abgesagt. Ihm seien einige Risiken zu groß, unter anderem mögliche Seuchen nach Taifunen. Vor Henderson hatten bereits Ian Stannard, Ben Swift, Geraint Thomas und Peter Kennaugh abgesagt. Freitag, 24. September 06:00 Die Organisatoren der Vuelta a Espana möchten die Spanienrundfahrt im nächsten Jahr gerne eine Woche früher starten lassen. Eine diesbezügliche Anfrage wurde bereits an die UCI gerichtet. Die Veranstalter versprechen sich dadurch mehr mediale Aufmerksamkeit, mehr Zuschauer an der Strecke und ein besseres Starterfeld. Donnerstag, 23. September 06:00 Diesen Sonntag steht die Generalprobe für das Straßenrennen der Herrenelite der Weltmeisterschaft am 3. Oktober an. Beim Herald Sun World Cycling Classic werden unter anderem Simon Gerrans, Philippe Gilbert und Edvald Boasson Hagen sowie das komplette Aufgebot Italiens an den Start gehen und dabei den Rundkurs der Offenen Australischen Meisterschaften abfahren. Am Start stehen zudem einige Fahrer der U23-Klasse, welche ebenfalls einen letzten Test für die Weltmeisterschaft bestreiten wollen. Auch ein Frauenrennen findet statt. Mittwoch, 22. September 06:00 Das Team Androni Giocattoli wird im nächsten Jahr auf Bianchi Rädern unterwegs sein. In diesem Jahr hatte die italienische Traditionsmarke noch Flaminia unterstützt. 06:00 Nach dem Verlust von Teamkapitän Ezequiel Mosquera muss sich Xacobeo nun auch nach einem neuen sportlichen Leiter umschauen. Alvaro Pino wird seine "Karriere" am Ende des Jahres beenden, um mehr Zeit mit seiner Familie zu verbringen. Dienstag, 21.

September 06:00 Fabian Cancellara wird sich am Dienstag entscheiden, ob er das Zeitfahren der Weltmeisterschaft auslässt oder wie eigentlich geplant an den Start geht. Nach der überraschenden Niederlage im Zeitfahren der Vuelta a Espana waren dem Schweizer Zweifel über seine Form gekommen und er überlegt nun, ob es besser wäre sich voll und ganz auf das Straßenrennen zu konzentrieren. Sonntag, 19. September 06:00 Es scheint, als ob die Trikots, die das Team Radioshack auf der letzten Etappe der Tour de France trug, doch noch ein Nachspiel für das Team haben könnten. So soll die UCI überlegen die neun Tour de France Starter des Teams für zwei Monate zu sperren. Samstag, 18. September 06:00 Damiano Cunego wird nicht an der Lombardei Rundfahrt teilnehmen. Der dreimalige Gewinner des "Rennen der fallenden Blätter" wird stattdessen nach dem Giro di Toscana am 26. September seine Saison beenden.

Donnerstag, 9. September 06:00 Der UCI Präsident Pat McQuaid hätte nichts dagegen, wenn die Weltmeisterschaft 2015 auch außerhalb Europa stattfindet und bringt die Stadt Quebec, in der am Freitag das erste ProTour Rennen in Amerika stattfindet, als Austragungsort ins Gespräch.

September 06:00 Filippo Pozzato steht im Verdacht der Steuerhinterziehung. Die Behörden zweifeln seinen Wohnort Monaco an.

So werden Andy Schleck, Roman Kreuziger und Robert Gesink nicht in Australien am Start stehen. 06:00 Mit einem fast komplett auf Mark Cavendish ausgerichteten Team startet HTC - Columbia bei der Spanienrundfahrt.

Da Ros wurde im letzten Jahr wegen Handels mit Dopingprodukten verurteilt. Die Sperre endet am 11. März 2013. 06:00 Tom Leezer wird Grame Brown, der sich momentan nicht in Topform befindet, in der Eneco Tour ersetzen. Durch diesen Tausch startet Rabobank nun mit acht Niederländern bei der Heimrundfahrt. Montag, 16. August 17:00 Oscar Pereiro wird möglicherweise auf die Vuelta a Espana verzichten müssen, aufgrund einer Armverletzung kann er im moment kaum trainieren. Sollte er nicht starten können, würde er sein Karriereende nach der Saison nochmals überdenken. 17:00 Unter der Leitung von Chris White und mit dem Grundgerüst des Teams Fly V soll es im nächsten Jahr ein australisches ProTour geben. Genauere Pläne sollen in den nächsten Wochen vorgestellt werden. 17:00 Das Team UnitedHealthcare wird im nächsten Jahr wahrscheinlich als ProContinental Team unterwegs sein.

Steven de Neef eröffnet um 15:41 das Rennen, während Maxime Monfort als letzter um 16:54 startet. 06:00 Jonny Bellis wird bei der Tour of Britain erstmals nach seinem schweren Unfall im September 2009 wieder ein Etappenrennen bestreiten. Durch seine Verletzung und eine anschließende Entzündung konnte Bellis sogar teilweise nicht laufen, da er zu wenig Muskelmasse hatte. Er wog zu dieser Zeit 46 Kilogramm. Das Saxobank Aufgebot wird von Alex Rasmussen, Frank Hoj, Jaroslav Marycz und Jonas Aaen Jorgensen vervollständigt. Freitag, 13. August 06:00 Aller guten Dinge sind drei, so denkt momentan wohl das Versicherungsunternehmen Liberty Seguros. Dieses möchte 2011 oder 2012 wieder ein Radsportteam sponsern. Bereits zweimal hatte das Unternehmen sich nach Dopingskandalen im eigenen Team, als Sponsor zurückgezogen. Als sportlicher Leiter ist Candido Barbosa im Gespräch. 06:00 Der Footon Neoprofi Thomas Faiers (GBr) musste seine Saison 2010 unfreiwillig beenden. Er leidet an Herzrhythmusstörung und wird sich eventuell einer Operation unterziehen. Faiers weiß seit seiner Kindheit, dass er erkrankt ist. Donnerstag, 12. August 14:50 Caisse d'Epargne wird im nächsten Jahr von dem Mobilfunkunternehmen Telefonica gesponsert und soll unter dem Namen Movistar fahren. 13:50 Ab dem nächsten Jahr soll zum Skoda-Velothon in Berlin auch ein Profirennen geben, welches bis 2013 in die ProTour aufsteigen soll. Eine Verlegung der Vattenfall Cyclassics von Hamburg nach Berlin steht aber nicht zur Debatte. 10:10 Ag2r und Vladimir Efimkin haben den gemeinsamen Vertrag zum 1. August aufgelöst. Efimkin wird sich in Zukunft um seine Frau in den USA kümmern. Ob er wieder ins Peloton zurückkehrt ist noch nicht sicher. 06:00 Christophe Brandt hat sich auf der ersten Etappe der Tour de l`Ain das Schlüsselbeim gebrochen. Mittwoch, 11. August 17:30 Bbox Bouygues Telecom hat sich von Saxobank anstecken lassen und den Sponsorenvertrag mit dem Team um ein Jahr verlängert. 06:00 Neben Frank Schleck hat nun auch Andy Schleck seinen Start bei der Spanienrundfahrt bestätigt. 06:00 Das französische Continental Team Bretagne-Schuller hofft im nächsten Jahr als ProContinental Team unterwegs zu sein und an der Tour de France teilnehmen zu dürfen. Die Tour de France 2011 wird wahrscheinlich mehrere Etappen durch die Bretagne führen. Dienstag, 10. August 18:00 Das Team Sky benennt sogar schon das komplette Aufgebot für die Vuelta. Als Mann für die Gesamtwertung wird Thomas Löfkvist nach Spanien reisen, während Simon Gerrans und der Sprinter Ben Swift auf Etappenjagd gehen. Das Aufgebot im Überblick: John-Lee Augustyn, Kjell Carlström, Juan Antonio Flecha, Simon Gerrans, Peter Kennaugh, Thomas Löfkvist, Lars-Petter Nordhaug, Ian Stannard und Ben Swift. 06:00 Das Team Xacobeo hat elf Fahrer für den erweiterten Kader für die Vuelta e Espana nominiert. Zwei Fahrer müssen bis zum Start in Sevilla noch gestrichen werden. Die elf Fahrer im Überblick: Gustavo Cesar Veloso, Gustavo Domínguez, Delio Fernández, David García, Marcos García, Serafín Martínez, Ezequiel Mosquera, Francisco Pacheco, Gonzalo Rabuñal,Gustavo Rodríguez (alle Spanien) und Vladimir Isaychev (Russland). Montag, 9. August 19:00 Am 28. August bekommt Paolo Bettini seine erste Chance als Nationaltrainer. Beim Giro del Veneto wird ein italienisches Nationalteam am Start stehen.

Sollten diese Orte tatsächlich angefahren werden, so würde die Tour de France nach ihrem ohnehin nördlichen Start noch weiter nach Norden fahren. Sonntag, 8. August 20:20 Bradley Wiggins wird neben der Tour of Britain auch noch an der Eneco Rundfahrt teilnehmen. 20:20 Schlechte Nachrichten für das Team Rabobank. Auf der letzten Etappe der Tour de Polgone brach sich Bauke Mollema das Schlüsselbein und fällt vier Wochen aus. Trotz des Sturzes beendete er die Rundfahrt und wurde Dritter. Auch Pieter Weening brach sich das Schlüsselbein. Er stürzte auf der letzten Etappe der Burgos Rundfahrt. 06:00 Während es momentan für das Team Caisse d'Epragne nicht gut aussieht, gibt es aber auch Grund zur Freude im spanischen Radsport. So möchte das Continental Team Caja Rujal aller Vorausicht nach im nächsten Jahr als ProContinental Team unterwegs sein. Zudem soll das Budget auf zwei Millionen Euro verdoppelt werden. Samstag, 7. August 06:00 Für den Bbox-Profi Saïd Haddou ist die Saison nach einem Sturz bei Paris-Corrèze beendet. Der Franzose erlitt einen doppelten Schien- und Wadenbeinbruch. 06:00 Romain Sicard (Euskaltel) wird dieses Jahr nicht an der Tour de l'Avenir teilnehmen. Der französische Nationaltrainer hatte zuletzt gehofft, dass der Vorjahressieger noch einmal antreten würde. Freitag, 6. August 18:00 Christophe Le Mevel wird dieses Jahr zum zweiten Mal nach 2005 an der Spanienrundfahrt teilnehmen. Hauptgrund dafür dürfte sein, dass Laurent Jalabert nur Fahrer für die Weltmeisterscahft nominiert, die auch die Vuelta a Espana gefahren sind. 14:20 Matteo Tosatto (Quick Step) ist zum ersten Mal Vater geworden. Seine Frau Elisa brachte die Tochter Emma zur Welt. Donnerstag, 5. August 23:00 Die argentinische Tourismusbehörde und die ASO führen momentan Gespräche über eine viertägige Rundfahrt in und um Buenos Aires. Die Rundfahrt soll Ende März bis Anfang April stattfinden. In Argentinien wird bereits jährlich die Rallye Dakar ausgetrangen, welche ebenfalls von der ASO organisiert wird. 23:00 Nach Floyd Landis und Tyler Hamilton hat nun ein weiterer ehemaliger US Postal Fahrer mit den Ermittlungsbehörden gesprochen. Der Fahrer möchte jedoch erst mal anonym bleiben. Im Gegensatz zu Landis und Hamilton soll dieser Fahrer während seiner Karriere nicht positiv getestet worden sein. 06:00 Für Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha) scheint es im Moment nur gute Nachrichten zu geben. Nach seiner starken Tour und dem guten Abschneiden bei der Clasisa San Sebastian, ist er nun zum zweiten Mal Vater geworden. Es ist ein Mädchen und heißt Elisa. 06:00 Xavier Tondo (Cervelo) hat sich auf der 4. Etappe der Tour de Pologne das Schlüsselbein gebrochen. Der Spanier wird somit auch nicht an der Vuelta a Espana teilnehmen können. Mittwoch, 04. August 18:00 Hans-Michael Holczer beschuldigt Levi Leipheimer in seinem Buch der Blutmanipulation. Am Ruhetag in Grenoble der Tour de France 2005 habe Holczer einen Brief der UCI erhalten, in dem auf erhöhte Blutwerte hingewiesen wurde. Holczer habe sich jedoch dafür entschieden Leipheimer im Rennen zu lassen. 18:00 Alexandre Vinokourov denkt, nachdem er bereits den Giro und die Tour in den Beinen hat, gar nicht an einen ruhigen Saisonausklang und hat sich nun das Zeitfahren der Asienspiele als ein neues Ziel gesetzt. Als unmittelbare Vorbereitung auf sein neues Highlight im November wird der Kasache auf wieder beim Chrono des Nations am Start stehen. 06:00 Frédéric Guesdon hat seinen Vertrag bei FDJ um ein weiteres Jahr verlängert. Der letzte französische Sieger von Paris - Tours und Paris - Roubaix wird am 14. Oktober 39 Jahre alt. 06:00 Mit einem Sieg beim Critérium de Castillon la Bataille hat Alberto Contador die Saison 2010 beendet. Es war zugleich auch sein letztes Rennen für Astana. Dienstag, 03. August 22:00 Sein Knie macht Heinreich Haussler weiter zu schaffen. Nun musste der Cervelo Profi auch noch die Dänemarkrundfahrt absagen. Auch ein Start bei der Vuelta ist sehr unwahrscheinlich. 22:00 Das Mannschaftszeitfahren, mit dem die Vuelta a Espana eröffnet wird, wurde um 1,3 km gekürzt und ist nun nur noch 13 km lang. 13:40 Nachdem Julian Dean die Commonwealth Spiele abgesagt hat, scheint nun ein Start bei der Spanienrundfahrt realistisch. Da Dean bereits Giro und Tour gefahren ist, wäre es für ihn nach 2009 schon das zweite Jahr in Folge mit einem Start bei allen drei Grands Tours. 13:40 Ebenfalls wurde verkündet, dass der Spanier Alberto Contador zum Team Saxobank Sungard wechseln wird. Contador unterschrieb einen Zweijahresvertrag. 13:40 Saxobank bleibt für ein weiteres Jahr Sponsor des Teams von Bjarne Riis. Dies wurde heute auf einer Pressekonferenz in Kopenhagen verkündet. 13:40 Riccardo Ricco und sein Team Ceramica Flaminia haben sich auf eine Vertragsauflösung geeinigt. Sein letztes Rennen für das zweitklassige Team wird der GP Camaiore am Sonntag sein. Neben einem Start bei der Vuelta Ende August strebt Ricco auch einen Start bei der Frankreichrundfahrt im nächsten Jahr an. Montag, 02. August 18:20 Tim Gudsell (FDJ) hat sich auf der ersten Etappe der Tour de Pologne das Schlüsselbein gebrochen. 18:20 Alessandro Petacchi muss erst am 24. August vor der Anti-Doping Kommission des CONI aussagen. Aufgrund "professioneller Verpflichtungen" wurde der Termin verschoben. 15:40 Der Tour de France-Vierte Samuel Sanchez wird dieses Jahr nicht die Vuelta a Espana bestreiten, er steht nicht im vorläufigen Aufgebot von Euskaltel. So stehen Igor Antón, Beñat Intxausti, Egoi Martínez, Mikel Nieve und Gorka Verdugo schon fest im Aufgebot. Um die letzten vier Plätze streiten: Javier Aramendia, Koldo Fernández, Juanjo Oroz, Alan Pérez, Amets Txurruka und Pablo Urtasun. 15:40 David Moncoutie hat sich erneut entschieden ein weiteres Jahr im Sattel zu verbringen.Im nächsten Jahr peilt der Franzose auch einen Start bei der Tour de France an. In diesem Jahr hatte Moncoutie eigentlich erklärt keine Frankreichrundfahrt mehr bestreiten zu wollen. Sonntag, 01. August 13:30 Der Abgang der Schleck-Brüder von Saxobank wurde diese Woche zwar bestätigt, aber über ihren neuen Arbeitgeber ist nach wie vor wenig bekannt. Nachdem allerdings die französiche Supermarktkette Auchan abgelehnt hat, soll nun die belgische Fast Food Kette Quick Interesse an einem Sponsoring haben. 13:30 Michael Rasmussen gibt die Hoffnung nicht auf, die Vuelta a Espana dieses Jahr doch noch bestreiten zu dürfen. Der Däne soll sich mit einem ProTour- und einem Professional-Team in Verhandlungen befinden. Allerdings dürfte langsam die Zeit knapp werden, denn bis zum 8. August müssen alle Teams eine erweiterte Startliste dem Veranstalter zukommen lassen. 13:30 Carlos Sastre (Cervelo) wird nach 2007 erneut alle drei großen Landesrundfahrten bestreiten. 2006 wurde er 43er beim Giro, Dritter bei der Tour und verpasste das Podium bei der Vuelta als Vierter nur knapp. 13:30 Li Fuyu (Radioshack) droht eine zweijährige Sperre, nach der A-Probe ist nun auch die B-Probe positiv. Der Chinese wurde beim Eintagesrennen Dwars Door Vlaanderen positiv auf Clenbuterol getestet. 13:30 Während Kim Kirchen weiter an sein Comeback glaubt, bietet sein Team Katusha ihm nun eine administrative Rolle an.

Eine 23 Mann lange Liste soll am Dienstag veröffentlicht werden. 20:00 Ab dem nächsten Jahr wird es eine weitere Rundfahrt in den USA geben. Die Tour of Colorado ist eine achttägige Rundfahrt und soll im August stattfinden. Freitag, 30. Juli 16:40 Der Schuhhersteller Geox wird ab der nächsten Saison das Team Footon Servetto sponsern. Geplant ist ein Budget von 50 Millionen Euro über fünf Jahre. Das Team bemüht sich intensiv um Damiano Cunego, Denis Menchov und Michael Rogers. 16:40 Sylvain Chavanel muss die Clasica San Sebastian aufgrund einer Infektion eines Zehs absagen. 16:40 Kim Kirchen plant nach seinem Herzstillstand während der Tour de Suisse eine Rückkehr ins Peloton zur Saison 2011. Zuerst müsse aber der Heilungsprozess vollständig abgeschlossen sein. 16:40 Auch das Team Milram gibt der Jugend eine Chance. So dürfen sich Stefan Schäfer und Michael Weicht als Stagiaires präsentieren. 16:40 Mikhail Antonov, Alexander Mironov und Alexander Porsev werden das Team Katusha als Stagiaires unterstützen. 16:40 Der Giro d'Italia 2011 wird mit einem Mannschaftszeitfahren in Turin gestartet und endet mit einem Einzelzeitfahren in Mailand. Donnerstag, 29. Juli 23:40 Alexander Wetterhall (Schweden) und Daniel Teklehaymanot (Eritrea) werden Stagiaires beim Cervelo Test Team. Teklehaymanot wird zudem ab der Saison 2011 Profi beim Team um Carlos Sastre und Thor Hushovd. 23:40 Der CONI hat im Falle Pellizotti eine zweijährige Sperre gefordert. Der Fall wird nun vom internationalen Sportgerichtshof (CAS) entschieden. 16:40 Der britische Radsportler Dan Staite wurde nach einer positiven Probe, es wurde EPO gefunden, für zwei Jahre gesperrt. Die Sperre läuft vom 1. Mai 2010 bis zum 1.Mai 2012 16:40 Mit den drei Stagiaires Taylor Phinney, Jesse Sergent und Clinton Avery wird Radioshack bei der Dänemark-Rundfahrt starten. Dazu kommen noch Sam Bewley, Matthew Busche, Geoffroy Lequatre, Jason McCartney und Bjorn Selander. Mittwoch, 28. Juli 21:00 Samuel Sanchez hat sich auf der 17. Etappe der Tour de France bei einem Sturz den Radiusknochen gebrochen. Das weitere Rennprogramm des Spaniers muss aber nicht geändert werden. 17:30 Für die Vattenfall Cyclassics am 15. August haben Skil - Shimano, Vacansoleil und BMC Wildcards erhalten. 17:30 Alessandro Petacchi hat heute bei einem Verhör durch die Staatsanwaltschaft Padua die Aussage verweigert. Dies sei die Taktik des Anwalts gewesen, da Petacchi ursprünglich aussagen wollte. Am 3. August folgt das nächste Verhör, dann durch das nationale olympische Komittee (CONI). 14:10 Alberto Contador wird Astana aller Voraussicht nach verlassen. Der Spanier ließ ein Ultimatum des Teams verstreichen, nachdem er mehr Zeit gefordert hatte. Die größten Chancen auf eine Verpflichtung des Tour de France-Siegers soll Bjarne Riis haben. Dienstag, 27. Juli 15:40 Beim Bundesgericht in Los Angeles ist eine Klage gegen Lance Armstrong eingegangen. Der siebenmalige Toursieger wird von einem ehemaligen Sponsor wegen möglicher Dopingvergehen verklagt. 15:40 Ivan Basso wird auch im nächsten Jahr wieder den Giro d'Italia und die Tour de France bestreiten. Er ist trotz seiner, durch Krankheit, schwachen Tour weiterhin der Meinung, dass er beide Rundfahrten in einem Jahr sehr stark fahren kann. 15:40 Ruben Lobato wurde für zwei Jahre gesperrt. Der Spanier war einer der ersten Fahrer, die die UCI mithilfe des Blutpasses überführte. 15:40 Manuele Boaro (Italien) wird dritter, und damit letzter, Stagiaire bei Carmiooro. Montag, 26. Juli 20:10 Stefan Schumacher arbeitet derzeit weiter an seinem Comeback. Ein Comeback im Nationaltrikot wird es für ihn aber nicht geben, dies bestätigte heute BDR-Vizepräsident Udo Sprenger. 20:00 Bradley Wiggins wird dieses Jahr nur noch die Tour of Britain fahren und damit auch die Weltmeisterschaften auslassen. 19:40 Johan Bruyneel wird von der UCI vorgeladen. Grund dafür sind die Geschehnisse auf der letzten Etappe der Tour de France. Dabei geht es weniger um die nicht genehmigten Trikots, sondern um die Startverzögerung von über 20 Minuten. 19:40 Daniel Diaz (Argentinien) und Ran Margaliot (Israel) werden Stagiaires bei Footon - Servetto. Während Diaz bei Cafés Baqué fährt, kommt Margaliot aus der UCI Mannschaft.

Manuel Quinziato und als Extra: Andreas Klöden vs. BDR: oh, what I just read,Germany is only number 12 in the national rankings and should probably start with only five riders, instead of nine :-) For the German Rider, it would be better if you had even a few Pro Tour points, instead of arguing on the internet, who runs the World Cup. the German Cycling Federation is an amateur! No nomination criteria, no professional guidance. No one has the idea of professional cycling. Only when the gentlemen retire. it will be better. It's funny that always scream the loudest Rider, they want the World Cup or Olympics, which have almost no Points .makes you start thinking. People like, Rudolf Scharping, Udo Sprenger or Burkard Bremer! Marcel Wust was one with intelligence and competence! the best German classics rider now ride for Australia, he had a lot of Pro Tour points last year. And he is the future. why He went ???????? I was never angry with Germany. But to the German cycling federation with their incompetent people. Germany has wonderful fans. I love Australia and what Heinrich has done, was the only right way. He is to work with professionals and not amateurs. Dienstag, 10. August 01:00 Gutted !!What does @russdowning have to do to ride in a Grand Tour? 1st Tour of Ireland and Tour de Wallonie winner.
