UCI Commission granted "wild card" to Team
Barloworld
Good news for Team Barloworld comes from UCI
(International Cycling Union). Today February 10th , the
Licence Commission made official the 2009 "wild card" label
granted to Team Barloworld, and to other 12 Continental Professional teams.
The "wild card" given to Team Barloworld for the 2009 season truly
attests the quality and the ethics of the team directed by Claudio Corti
and proudly sponsored by South Africa's Barloworld
Limited.
"Wild card" labels are given only to teams that
fulfil strict quality criteria on a number of levels: sporting (history of
strong performances by team and riders), legal (observance of the rules),
administrative (rigorous management and transparency) and ethical (especially
anti-doping management and procedure)", the UCI press release said. Wild
card also obliges Professional teams to participate in the biological passport
programme, and
Team Barloworld can now be invited in Pro Tour races,
where all the "reds" riders could have the chance to show their strength and
loyalty.
THE "CELESTE" BIANCHI SHINES ALSO IN TRACK
RACE (translated into English by Bianchi Italy)
Luca Mangiarotti and his Bianchi D2 Pista Alu conquer the third place at the
“Sei Giorni di Cremona” for young riders
The efforts of the cyclo-cross season are dismissed. Five Italian
Championships, the “Giro d’Italia” woman category juniores and the second place
in the Italian Championship for team, is a great result for the team
Bianchi-Gemat Costruzioni-Skoda Galimberti/GS Cicli Fiorin Despar. But the
satisfactions are not ended.
Luca Mangiarotti, athlete of the track team,
conquered on Friday 6th a great third place in the first journay of “Sei Giorni
di Cremona” for young categories. A good race for the pistard, that was able to
enter in the right escape and, in the final, with pluck and determination,
conquered the third place. Mangiarotti run in saddle of his Bianchi D2 Pista
Alu: one name, one guarantee.
