The UCI today confirmed 19 of the 20 ProTour teams who will participate in the ProTour calendar across the 2010 season. Included are two former winners of the ProTour rankings - 2 time winners Vesuvio-Accumalux, and the 2011 Champions Sony Ericsson.
Bacardi-Ignis, Milka-Vittel, Pendleton's Twicer, Santander, UBS-La Pierre and Wiggle-San Pellegrino also receive ProTour licenses for the first time - although all have experience of riding at this level through wildcards.
| Bacardi - Ignis | ITA | | Café de Colombia | COL | | Carmeuse - Bouygues Telecom | BEL | | Festina - CONEC | GER | | Jack Wolfskin | NED | | Milka - Vittel | FRA | | Nestlé Cycling Team | SWI | | Pearl Adidas | POR | | Pendleton's Twicer | GBR | | Santander | ESP | | Sony Ericsson | SWD | | Team CrueTrue | ? | | Team B&O | DEN | | UBS - La Pierre | SWI | | Vesuvio-Accumalux | LUX | | Warner Brothers | USA | | Webeffect | POR | | Wiggle - San Pellegrino | GBR | | Wikipedia | USA |
The final slot is yet to be announced, but the UCI confirms it will be handed to either Domina Vacanze or Team Bianchi.

I like how my team is a bit Luxembourg-like with a yet to be confirmed name  |

And in the fifth spot we have the future Pro Tour Champions
Hopefully Setzel will show up and he will keep Domina in the Pro Tour

Really looking forward to it.
PT looks different a lot, mostly with La Gazzetta out.

I'm trying to decide if I like Setzel or Nibali more. |

Looks a really cracking line up this year, so much unprecictabilty with pcm2010 already and here there is a lot of excellent fresh blood.
Gazzetta are an obvious void at the top end, lets see who fills it.

Setzel clearly
I think he is the only non - admin manager from the original season that is still in the game.

Looks like an interesting new mix, and mattias has proven newly promoted sides can be very, very, dangerous.

Would probably end up too expensive, unless the Spanish came in en masse for Intxausti

So, Madrazo, Tenorio, Ventoso, Cobo, David Lopez, Guerao, Abal and Intxausti? How much do you intend to finish over your wage cap?

You underestimate my cunning, also I'm saving by not having a cobbled rider

I wonder if Cunego will go to a CT team, instead of a PT one. |

He'd probably end up with about 10 race days in the CT.
If you let Uran come to Colombia, SN, then I'll try and bankroll a move for Schleck the younger. |
