Frank Vandenbroucke and his Team Cinelli are not welcome in this weekend's GP Costa degli Etruschi in Italy, because the team still does not have a UCI license.
The team, which is led by Nico Mattan, said in January that it had only just submitted its final application and was expecting to hear shortly from the UCI, which apparently hasn't yet happened.
Cinelli had expected to open the season at the Vuelta a Tachira in Venezuela, but couldn't because of the lack of a license. The Tour Méditerranéen (February 11-15) has also said the team is not welcome.
