UCI grants T-Mobile four year license

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has granted the T-Mobile Team a four year ProTour license, to be operated as a German team by High Road Sports, Inc and its sister company Neuer Straßen Sport GmbH, both belonging to T-Mobile Team's future general manager Bob Stapleton.

The license brings some welcome good news to T-Mobile, that has lost some of its biggest names recently. Jan Ullrich was sacked by the team on Saturday after being linked to the Operacion Puerto affair and Tour stars Andreas Kloden and Mattias Kessler have signed for team Astana for 2007.
