Looks like Carlos Barredo has been summoned by the UCI to answer a few questions about his blood values, Rabobank aren't letting him race till things are cleared up.

Endura had hoped to gain ProContinental status for next year but having failed to secure the required sponsorship funds, looks set to merge with an existing ProContinental team. Although confirmation of the team was not given to Cyclingnews, it is understood that the secondary team took part in its first Grand Tour earlier this spring.
As NetApp took part in Giro, as well as they didn't secure their sponsors for next year - merge between those two teams is very likely.
Noooo NetApp, dont do it. Endura only have 2 or 3 good riders and dont have any of the same goals really.
I also would not like this move, NetApp is much better team, no need to do that, if not because of financial reasons.

Séché Environnement is bound to replace Schuller as Bretagne's co-sponsor for next season.
Their CEO was also Saur's CEO until last Spring, so they were a minor sponsor for Saur-Sojasun.
Team budget should increase, and other minor sponsors could join in as well.
An announcement is expected in Plouay, next Sunday. |

Remember who topped the UCI "suspicion index" prior to the 2010 Tour?
Barredo (and Popovych). |

The 2015 Vuelta a España will start with 5 (!) stages in the Netherlands, with an opening 31 km TTT in Emmen.

That's a bit too much, I think... 5 stages in the Netherlands? By 2020 the GT's will have 1 stage in their own country at that rate  |

Apparently (I've read this in several sites) a new UCI rule prevents races to have a rest day before the 5th stage. It explains why 5 stages.

Well, I guess it's new, because the Giro had a rest day after three stages in Denmark.
In events with more than 10 days of competition, at least one rest day must be allowed for and fall after at least 5 days of racing.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to you, but just, another UCI rule, if it's anything like the UCI points when going to other team rule, then get ready to face palm |

If they wanted 5 days outside of Spain they could've crossed from Netherlands to Belgium through France (for 3 days) and then over the Pyrenees to Spain, or is that even stupider? |

Nooo
Samuel Sanchez fell one kilometre into today’s stage of the Tour du Poitou-Charentes and, according to Direct Velo, may have broken his collarbone. He received medical attention and confirmation of his condition is expected later.
