In principle, they (UCI) wrote to them that it is a only czech problem that they failed to qualify via Ranking and then they lost the time trial quota for Sábliková and that they are not interested and absolutel don´t care about their problems, " well after all the bombarding mails and very hard letters from slovakians after UCI didn´t awarded the wild card for Sagan I´m not surprised that UCI are a bit sensitive with calls, letters, messages from federations of ex-czechoslovakia so in fact Sábliková and CZE NOC is going to international arbitration court. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,182 Posted June 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I don't have sympathy for Czechs in this case to be honest. Qualification system (which is literally available to everybody) clearly says that athletes have to qualify for road race in order to compete in time trial. It's not UCI's fault that CZE didn't qualify in road race, nor it is their fault that they didn't read the document.
