UCI ProTour re-signs five races

After a tumultuous year of battles with the Grand Tour organisers, the UCI's ProTour series will continue on in 2009, and the series has re-signed five of the current races through the 2012 season. The UCI announced that its Licenses Commission approved the contracts of the Spanish races; Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco, Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, and Clasica Ciclista San Sebastián, and the GP Ouest France-Plouay and Tour de Pologne.

The races will join the Tour Down Under and the Tour de Romandie, which already have a license for the next season.
