Valjavec resumes racing with Turkish team Manisaspor
Slovenian awaits CAS decision by the end of March
Slovenia’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tadej Valjavec will resume racing on Saturday in Croatia, he told Cyclingnews from his home in Pokljuka. “Next on my agenda is the Tour of Istria next week and I strongly hope that CAS will come up with a positive decision by the end of March,” said the 33-year old. He was168澳洲5最新开奖结果: suspended by the UCI for irregularities in his biological passport in May last year, but was later 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:cleared🦄 by the Slovenian anti-doping agꦍency, and is now awaiting the final decision by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
He rode again in September for Ag2r-La Mondiale but his🀅 contract wasn’t renewed. “Now I’ve signed with the new Turkish team Manisaspor and if everything goes well, our big goal will be the Tour of Turkey (from April 24 to May 1),” Valjavec added.
Since the Pre♛sidential Tour of Turkey was upgraded to 2.1 in 2008 and now HC, Turkish cycling has taken a strong initiative to be structured at every level. More races are organised in the country and two continental teams have been created this year. Manisaspor has nine young Turkish riders, all unde꧟r 24, and six foreign riders to help them learn the job, and the roster includes Valjavec’s compatriot Dean Podgornik, 31, and former Junior world champion Jeremy Yates from New Zealand.
Valjavec always denied doping accusations, as did Italians 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Pellizotti an𒁃d Pietro Caucchioli, both of whom were 🦹banned by CAS earlier this week for similar irregularities in their biological passports.
