Tour de France - Lefevere steps up UCI feud
Eurosport - Fri, 04 Jul 16:53:00 2008
Quick Step team manager Patrick Lefevere, one of the leading advocates of the ProTour series, sees no point in his team staying in series sponsored by the International Cycling Union (UCI) next season.
"Our sponsors don't see why they should stay in the ProTour as we could see our invitations to some leading races turned down," the Belgian manager said.
A long-running feud between the UCI and the leading race organisers has left the biggest races out of the ProTour.
"I believe in the ProTour if everybody takes part in it. The UCI must understand we can no longer go on like this", he said.
The Tour and all the races held by its organiser are not part of the ProTour this season.
