No cycling team for Fernando Alonso in 2015
Tipped to take control of a cycling team next season, Fernando Alonso does not have a registered structure for 2015 in the various UCI divisions.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) indicated that, contrary to recent rumors, Fernando Alonso was not the owner of a team holding a WorldTour license (which allows teams to participate in the biggest international events, such as the Grand Tours or the Classics) or a Pro Continental license for the lower division.
« In recent months, the UCI has had very cordial and productive discussions with Fernando Alonso and his representatives regarding a possible [project] for 2015, » stated the cycling body.
« Even though they did not lead to a team for 2015, we thank Fernando Alonso for his interest and commitment and look forward to continuing discussions with him and his advisers should they wish to pursue this interest. »
The Spaniard is expected, in all likelihood, to leave Scuderia Ferrari at the end of the season. His future seems tied to the McLaren-Honda team for 2015, even though Ron Dennis recently stated that nothing was signed for next year.
