They (CZE) will go to international court against UCI because of the Sábliková affair,

 

in fact CZE was the whole time as they wrote assured she is qualified because she won a place in time trial during last years world champs, but CZE failed to qualify a quota in world ranking. 

 

now they were surprised that she isn´t among the invited athletes, so they asked UCI for ia wild card for her, but UCI apparently answered shortly No, we will not answer you by phone, UCI will invite athletes only according to our methodics, we are starting to send letters for the invited NOC´s, if you´ll receive a letter with inviatation CZE will participate, if you´ll not receive any letter it means you are not invited. :lol:

 

the czech side is mainly complaining about the very poor communications from UCI, they said UCI didn´t wanted to talk with them about it, they litterally said that they (UCI) behave brutally, that the discussion with them is not cultivated, their lawyers answered only with harsh statements. 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 :lol:

 

so in fact Sábliková and CZE NOC is going to international arbitration court.

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.

Yes, that is indeed Levy the track cyclist, to create extra space in the strong sprint squad. Whether or not he will start in the road race "will be decided shortly before the race".

France did the same with Bourgain in 2012 where he dropped out after a couple of kms.

    • Snow and wind in Ruka this morning, so the scheduled Ski Jumping round was cancelled - good news is that they did manage a provisional round yesterday, so that's going to be used as the base for the race later this afternoon.     Nightmare for Ilves  who won in Norway last week - he starts in dead last place, down among the dead men in the Wave.    Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined Provisional Round Ruka (FIN)    
    • Interesting remark by the  Comms - apparently FIS have restructured their definitions of Cross Country wins, to reduce the impact of all those semi-wins in stage races with a start advantage, so Johaug is now put on 82 wins.   Obviously prompted by Shiffrin on 99....
