This week the Unibet.com team announced that Spanish rider Carlos Garcia Quesada was no longer part of the team. He signed with them last year after his great 2005 Vuelta in the team’s efforts to become a ProTour team. He was on the list of riders being involved with Operación Puerto but ended up being cleared. Before Puerto hit he won the early season race Vuelta Andalucía, and that has already been a source of controversy for the team as the race said Unibet would not be invited without Garcia Quesada.
While the Vuelta Andalucía is not part of the ProTour this is not the first race UniBet is having issues with as they were not invited to Paris-Nice either. They look to be the ball being kicked around in the battle between race organizers and the UCI.
