9 Liquigas-Cannondale
10 Saxo Bank SunGard
11 Team RadioShack
12 Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team
13 Pro Team Astana
14 Movistar Team

And in more important news, Kim Andersen says that the Lux team is 'secured' financially the next four years. |

What's the reasoning behind that hierarchy? PT points? Or did the UCI just pull that ranking out of its ass? |

Also Pegasus can forget about a World Tour license because they are pretty low on this hierarchy list (23th). Meanwhile Vacansoleil's(12th) odds have increased.

So, three out of Euskaltel, Geox, Quick Step, Cofidis and AG2R will get a PT license. The obvious choice is to left AG2R and Cofidis out, but I guess the French will have a representative in the WT. Interesting. |

Luxembourg's position at #1 must surely all-but confirm that Cancellara is going there

A couple of days ago, he said that he left Saxo Bank, because he wants to continue with the people with whom he has worked with for many of his successful years. It doesn't get any more clear than that  |

Marca has reported that Mosquera's B sample was negative.
It's a blatant lie. Even Mosquera has admitted as much.

For some reason I forgot to post this earlier: Popovych has been summoned to testify in the US Postal doping trial.

Turns out Cancellara was involved in the Lux team since December last year in their hunt for a sponsor.
In other words, he's spent the last year being underhanded.

Because the french teams are at their real place?
This is based on ALL UCI races. (Pro, Historic, Continental...).
It doesn't get fairer than this |
