Spokesman Andrea Agostini declined to say why Milram had fired the 32-year-old Spaniard, who won the world road race championship in Canada in 2003 and has been with the team since 2007.

The matter was now in the hands of lawyers representing separately the team and the rider, Agostini added.

Astarloa pulled out after the first stage of the Giro d'Italia earlier this month.
