UCI approves five Pro Continental teams for 2006

The UCI has announced that it has processed and approved the applications of five of six Professional Continental squads for the 2006 season. Three Spanish teams (Andalucia-Paul Versan, Comunidad Valenciana and Relax-GAM), one Italian (Team Androni Giocattoli-3C Casalinghi) and one Austrian (Elk Haus-Simplon) should be approved for licenses after the UCI Road Commission and the governing body's auditors Ernst & Young favourably reviewed these applications.

However, Italian team Naturino-Sapore Di Mare's Professional Continental application was not approved by the UCI Road Commission and would be put on hold until additional documents are produced that satisfy UCI Road Commission requirements for Continental Pro teams.
