UCI confirms Drapac Cycling's Pro Continental application
Another box ticked for Australian team
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Drapac Professional Cycling recently confirmed that they remain on track to securing a UCI Pro Continental license for the 2014 season. The announcement comes on the back of team manager Jonathan Breekveldt's delivery of the requisite bank guarantee and rider contracts to the UCI in Aigle, S✨witzerland.
"It is great to have this official confirmation from the UCI that the application has been accepted and all the necessary documentation has been presented," said Breekv🐼eldt. "I was always confident in our submission but it is nice to have it formally recognised."
Documents and payments approved by ❀the U🥂CI so far include: payment of the licence fee, registration form, rider, staff and sponsorship contracts as well as financial documentation including the 2014 bank guarantee and budget.
"The application is a very comprehensive and arduous process and being sometime since 2007 when we last applied there was plenty to learn henc𝓰e we made sure we were overly thorough in compiling the necessary documentation," continued Breekveldt. "With advice and assistance from several people experienced in the application and having secured the necessary financial support in April I knew we would not have any problems submitting the application to the UCI and Ernst & Young."
Breekveldt hinted again at the team'sﷺ plan to tackle the𓂃 Tour Down Under and the Tour of California next year, with the long term goal of racing a grand tour by 2016.
"This is a critical step in a long term growth plan for the team as we look forward to being on the start line of theജ Tour Down Under in January and seek iꦆnvitation to both the Tour of California and Tour of Bejing.
"Being in our 10th year as a team we have proven that we have a sustainable model and one that we hope will take us to a grand tour🎶 in 2016."
