  • Worldteams Profiles
    KEY RIDER BIOS | WORLDTEAMS PROFILES WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) In the top flight for the past 24 years, the French squad shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet— who’ll be among the stars racing here in Canada—finishing second in the general classification. A season‐win total stuck at six has taken some of the shine off that success, but the fact remains that Vincent Lavenu’s team has been influential all season long. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2016 (as of Aug. 22): 6 RIDERS TO WATCH Romain Bardet (FRA): Age 24, turned pro in 2012. Palmarès: 5 wins including two stages of the Tour de France. This season: 1 win; 2nd in the Tour de France, 2nd in the Critérium du Dauphiné, 2nd in the Tour of Oman. In 2016, this French climbing specialist continued his impressive rise to the higher echelons of world cycling, proving that he was one of the few men who could give Chris Froome a run for his money, both in the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France. Though tired after the Rio Olympics, he’ll be eager for end‐of‐season success in Canada, where he has done well in the past (5th in Montréal in 2014, and 7th last year). Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 28, turned pro in 2013. Palmarès: 5 wins including Stage 8 of the 2015 Tour de France. This season: 2nd in the GP de Plumelec, 3rd in the French National Championships. A series of crashes and health worries have kept his former mountain biking specialist from fulfilling the promise of his exciting 2015 season.

  • Winner of the 2007 Tour De France, Alberto Contador, As Well As His Astana Teammates Levi Leipheimer, Winner of the 2008 Tour Of
    INSIDE THE UCI/ASO CONFLICT ABOUT ORGANIZING CYCLING AS A SPORT: THE UNIBET CASE BENOIT HANSEZ INTRODUCTION Winner of the 2007 Tour de France, Alberto Contador, as well as his Astana teammates Levi Leipheimer, winner of the 2008 Tour of California and ranked third in the 2007 Tour de France, and Andreas Klöden, ranked second in the 2004 and 2006 Tours de France, have been denied participation in the 2008 Tour de France. This results from a decision of the Tour de France organizer, Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), not to invite the cycling team Astana to the cycling races that it organizes in 2008, including the 2008 Tour de France. ASO’s decision is based on the damage caused by this team during the 2007 Tour de France and to cycling in general, both in 2006 and 2007.1 Prior to the start of the 2006 Tour de France, Astana was excluded from the Tour de France after five of its riders were implicated in a doping scandal. In the 2007 Tour de France, Astana pulled out of the Tour de France after its team leader Alexander Vinokourov tested positive for blood doping on July 24, 2007. Astana’s doping problem is a small piece of a long history of drugs scandals that have tarnished the credit of professional cycling over the last decade. Suffice to remember the highly media covered Festina affair in the 1998 Tour de France where the Festina physician Willy Voet was caught by border officials with large quantities of doping products in his Festina team car, and several members of the team, including the 1997 World Champion Laurent Brochard, were arrested and admitted to taking erythropoietin (EPO).2 Suffice also to cite the name of the famous Spanish doping case, Operación Puerto, against Dr.
