Dutch crossers miss out

Joop Atsma (KNWU) said there is no more start money (400 guilders each) for the Dutch cyclecrossers with the World Championship. In case one of the Dutch riders get the title there is a bonus of 5.000 guilders. Even with the sponsormoney of Rabo (25.000 guilders) the KNWU is losing money with this event.The KNWU will arrange a meeting with the riders.

More on the blood tests

The UCI will not only test before the start of a race; but will also make random tests in out of competition. UCI will buy the instruments soon and expect that the results of the blood tests will be avaiable within 15 minutes.
