Hoste, 34, had a contract with the Katusha squad that ran through 2012, but was not welcomed back on the team by new manager Hans-Michael Holczer after having a devastating 2011 season.

Hoste suffered a head injury in the Driedaagse De Panne – Koksijde at the end of March and while he started the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, he struggled with the injury the rest of the year. He was finally diagnosed in August with a tear in the membrane surrounding his brain, but is expected to recovery fully.

He said in October that he expected Katusha to respect the existing contract.

The Accent.jobs – Willems Veranda’s team is expanding on its strong 2011 season, and maintained perennial podium finisher Stefan Van Dijk despite other competing offers.

The UCI released its fourth cyclo-cross rankings of the year on Tuesday, following a weekend in which all categories – elite men, elite women, under 23 men and junior men – raced the third round of the World Cup in Koksijde, Belgium.

Nys remains atop the men’s elite UCI standings for the fourth straight time this season with 2,210 points, with Pauwels continuing as the second-ranked rider.

Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) outsprinted Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor) to win both Saturday’s World Cup in Koksijde (in a controversial finale) as well as Sunday’s Superprestige round in Gieten, The Netherlands.

Pauwels, however, has been steadily chipping away at Nys’s lead which stood at 160 points in the season’s first rankings but has now been reduced to a tenuous 10 points. In addition to finishing as runner-up in both races this past weekend, Pauwels has also scored points with wins at Superprestige Gavere and the GP Hasselt (round 3 of the GvA Trofee), races in which Nys failed to score any points with the year-round rolling points system.

The riders ranked third through sixth overall remained unchanged with Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus), world champion Zdenek Stybar (Quick Step), Francis Mourey (FDJ) and Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Revor) holding third through sixth respectively.

Bart Aernouts (Rabobank-Giant Off-road Team) moved into seventh overall, followed by teammate Lars van der Haar in eighth. Bart Wellens (Telenet-Fidea) dropped from seventh to ninth while teammate Tom Meeusen held steady in 10th place.

The highest ranked North American continues to be the USA’s Jeremy Powers (Rapha Focus), who moved from 14th to 11th overall with 924 points.

There were no changes in the top-10 nations ranking for elite men, with Belgium unsurprisingly continuing its dominance with 6,134 points. The top five is completed by France (2,922), Czech Republic (2,524), Netherlands (2,523) and the United States (2,144) in second through fifth respectively.

Since the last standings were released on November 8, Compton swept the weekend of racing at the US Gran Prix of Cyclo-cross’s Derby City Cup in Louisville, Kentucky and finished third at the Koksijde, Belgium World Cup.

There was a slight shuffling of riders within the top-10 as Sanne van Paassen (Brainwash) moved into second with 1,650 points while Czech champion Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team) dropped to third with 1,590 points.

Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit) opened her season’s ‘cross campaign at the Koksijde World Cup, where she finished second, followed by a win the next day in Gieten. As a result, she moves from fifth to fourth while British champion Helen Wyman (Kona) drops from fourth to fifth with 1,407 points.

The Netherlands continues to lead the elite women’s nations rankings with 4,363 points, followed by the United States (3,166), Czech Republic (2,926), Great Britain (2,884) and France (2,361) respectively in second through fifth.

2008 Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton has reiterated her intention to retire after next summer’s London 2012 Olympics but has admitted that she is “terrified” of having to forge a new career away from the velodrome.

Pendleton won gold for Great Britain in the track sprint at Beijing four years ago and is hopeful of successfully defending her title on home soil. She has also won a staggering 15 medals at the World Championships, including eight golds, and is unsurprisingly known as the Queen of British cycling – using that reputation to voice her opinion on the public spat between Team GB’s Lizzie Armitstead and Nicole Cooke last week.

Having raced for over 20 years, Pendleton feels that her career will progress to a natural end after next year’s Games. Her drive and determination are well known but injuries are starting to take their toll. Despite this, the 31-year-old told Sky Sports that the prospect of finding something else to occupy her time fills her with dread.

“I am terrified, really terrified, about life after cycling because that is all I have done,” she said. “Apart from a job over the Christmas holidays where I did some part-time work at my local pub and restaurant to earn some extra cash in between university, I haven’t really had any jobs.

“It’s quite daunting. What will I be good at? What do I want to do? I think I am going to take a year out and try everything. I am going to take up as many opportunities as I can with the people I have met along the way and just try a load of stuff.”

Pendleton spoke about her injuries, which have become more frequent in recent years, but stated that she still hopes to take part in the sprint, keirin and team sprint in front of her adoring home fans next summer. It could be a fitting swansong.

“I have been experiencing a lot more injuries, and a lot more injuries due to wear and tear,” she said. “You can’t turn back the hands of time, it just naturally happens. I do this because I love training and when you can’t train the way you want to because your body says no, it’s very frustrating. I don’t see myself having the ability to manage that frustration for much longer. But I’m not totally falling apart just yet, so I am going to push full gas towards those three events.”

With time ticking out on the Geox-TMC squad’s existence, Austrian Matthias Brändle has become the latest of the team’s riders to secure another contract. The 21-year-old will join the German Professional Continental Team NetApp for 2012.

Geox suddenly pulled its support of the team last month and team manager Mauro Gianetti has been scrambling to find a replacement sponsor. He said last week he was in close negotiations with two organisations, but no further news has emerged about the team’s future.

A former time trial and road race champion of Austria, Brändle has also taken high finishes in bunch sprints, as demonstrated by his winning the sprinter’s jersey at this season’s Tour de Romandie. He brings Grand Tour experience to the NetApp team, having been part of the winning squad at this year’s Vuelta a España and taken part in the 2010 Giro d’Italia.

“Matthias is a perfect fit in terms of our concept. He’s young but already brings with him skills that we will be able to make good use of in our tour team. He’s a fast sprinter, a good time-trial rider, an active rider. He can both support the team and take advantage of his own opportunities at smaller tours,” said Ralph Denk, Team NetApp’s team manager.

Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Cannondale) is to write to the Italian Cycling Federation (FCI) seeking clarification on the reasoning behind its decision to bar former dopers from representing the country at the world championships.

The measure, passed by the FCI’s federal council in June, prevents riders who have served doping bans of six months or more from representing Italy at international level and from competing in the national championships. Basso is among the riders affected by the by-law as he served a two-year suspension for his collaboration with blood doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes in the wake of Operacion Puerto.

“I’ll write a letter to the federation. It hurts me not to be able to ride the Italian championships or the Worlds,” Basso told Gazzetta dello Sport. “The ban angers me and it’s hard to explain. I need to understand the reasoning behind it. I’m always thinking about it, and whatever way you turn it, I find something that doesn’t square up.”

Other riders to fall foul of the FCI measure include Michele Scarponi, Alessandro Petacchi, Davide Rebellin and Danilo Di Luca, with the latter even launching an unsuccessful legal bid to race the Italian championships in June.

“I’ve contributed to cause harm to this sport and I am ashamed of it,” said Basso, who confessed only to having intended to dope under the supervision of Eufemiano Fuentes. “However, I’ve since contributed to do good, based on three principles – honesty, fairness and transparency. Now I need to understand why the federation is denying me these two races.

“They must give me explanations, but they must be very convincing. If I have to stay out for the good of the sport, then I’ll step aside, but before that, I want to go all the way. Cycling needs credibility, and thus also clarity. I want clarity, without causing confusion.”

Basso denied that he would consider formulating a legal challenge to the FCI regulation, and insisted that he was simply seeking an explanation. “Mine is an emotional problem, not a legal one,” he said. “I don’t need a lawyer or a legal expert. If they explain to me why I mustn’t ride, I’ll step aside.”

The Italian, who won the 2010 Giro d’Italia in his second full season back after suspension, insisted that he has already paid enough for his misdemeanours, and recalled the widespread opposition that had greeted Liquigas’ decision to sign him in 2008. “It’s easy to talk now, but before [Liquigas management] Paolo Zani and Roberto Amadio used to have to go into meetings wearing helmets,” Basso said.

Basso, who turns 34 on Sunday, travels to Liquigas-Cannondale’s first training camp of the winter at the Passo San Pellegrino. The man from Varese will begin his 2012 season at the Trofeo Laigueglia in February, as he builds towards the Giro d’Italia.

Philippe Gilbert was guest of honour at the Saturday evening session of the Ghent Six, and the Belgian champion delighted the home crowds by taking part in a pursuit match against his Omega Pharma-Lotto teammate Jurgen Roelandts.

Gilbert came out on top in the pursuit, recording a time of 3:43.50 for the race, and he explained afterwards that he had enjoyed the novel event.

“Track cycling is a special discipline,” Gilbert told Sporza. “You could almost say that it’s not the same sport. There are huge differences between the track and the road but my first impression was positive.”

Gilbert spent three days in Aigle, Switzerland earlier in the week as the UCI’s Athletes’ Commission met for the first time, and he used the opportunity to train on the track at the World Cycling Centre. Cyclingnews was on hand as Gilbert went through his paces on Wednesday morning in the company of Bernhard Eisel and paracyclist Jiri Jezek, and the world number one was clearly determined not to let his end down in Ghent.

“I was particularly surprised by the pressure you feel on the bends, but I followed the advice to stick to the black line and so it wasn’t too bad,” he said on Saturday.

Gilbert was set to travel back to his home in Monaco on Sunday afternoon as he turns his attention to the 2012 season. His work on the road begins in earnest this week ahead of his first training camp with his new BMC team near Calpe, from December 5th to 16th.

Australian BMX star Dane Searls has died in hospital this morning from injuries sustained in a fall from a hotel balcony last weekend.

Searls, 23, fell from the first floor of Billy’s Beach House in Queensland’s Gold Coast last Sunday night and had been in a coma ever since. Sydney Morning Herald reported that he’d been attempting to jump into the hotel pool below but missed, landing on the concrete and suffering critical head and back injuries. He was rushed to hospital at around 8.30pm on Sunday evening but succumbed to his injuries this morning.

Just two days earlier he had set a new world record during a series of dirt jumps near Boonah, successfully landing an 18-metre gap jump.

Kazakhstan’s ruling Nur Otan party has named Alexandre Vinokourov among its list of candidates for the country’s forthcoming general election, which takes place on January 15.

Vinokourov’s name was greeted with generous applause when it was announced before delegates on Friday during the unveiling of the party’s 127 candidates. Nur Otan is currently the only party represented in the Mazhilis, the lower chamber of the Kazakh parliament.

“It’s an honour for me to participate in the election as a candidate for a position as a deputy,” Vinokourov said, according to dhnet.be.

Kazakhstan uses a list system to elect its members of parliament, meaning that if elected, Vinokourov would not have to take up his seat immediately and could replace a sitting Nur Otan deputy at a later date.

The Astana rider, who had previously announced that he would retire in 2011, is now expected to take part in the London 2012 Olympics and he hinted that he would not enter parliament until after he calls time on his controversial career.

“I want to finish this year in the saddle, and maybe next year participate in the Olympic Games, concentrate on them and afterwards help Kazakhstan as I can,” Vinokourov said.

Vinokourov took silver in the road race in Sydney in 2000, but missed the Beijing Olympics as he was serving a two-year suspension for blood doping. He is joined on the Nur Otan electoral list by two of Kazakhstan’s gold medallists from Sydney, Olga Shishigina (100 metres hurdles) and Yermakhan Ibraimov (boxing).

Nur Otan is widely expected to dominate the election and consolidate the rule of president Nursultan Nazarbayev. However, changes to the electoral system are set to guarantee the second-placed party a presence in parliament even if it fails to gain the 7% of the popular vote previously necessary to secure representation.

Alberto Contador addressed the CAS hearing panel yesterday afternoon as WADA and the UCI’s appeal against the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation’s decision to clear him over a positive test for clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour de France reached its conclusion.

If the appeal is upheld then Contador faces being stripped of his victories at the Tour and the 2011 Giro d’Italia and will also receive a two-year ban. A decision is expected sometime in January.

Contador did not comment as he left the hearing, but CAS general secretary Mattieu Reeb told the press: “Alberto Contador spoke last and for about fifteen minutes. He took the case very seriously and was present for the whole case and attended all the discussions.”

Though the reports of a potential breakaway league backed by the Rothschild financial group were quickly dismissed by the UCI as “unworkable” when Cyclingnews confronted it with them earlier this month, the details concerning the structure of the league demonstrate a well-thought proposal by people who mean serious business.

In fact, the men behind the “World Series Cycling” idea, Jonathan Price and Thomas Kurth, have a history of battling sporting administrators. Price’s Gifted Group specialises in bundling television rights and perhaps even more intriguing is Kurth, who is a former head of the G14 – a now defunct organisation that comprised of the richest European football clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Kurth’s background

While Kurth was in charge, the organisation came into direct conflict with the European administrator UEFA, as well as FIFA head Sepp Blatter over the way TV rights were being distributed.

Amongst other things, Kurth was critical that revenue collected from international fixtures was not distributed by FIFA and UEFA to the clubs themselves, particularly when players would at times return from these games injured at the expense of the teams they were contracted to.

Efforts like this were part of the grander objective of the group to increase the influence of clubs in what Kurth saw as an increasingly autocratic atmosphere of football governance.

“We want to see the rights of all clubs, not just G14 clubs, actively recognized within the governance and management structure of the game,” Kurth said to the BBC in 2006.

“At the moment they are not. Decisions are in circles from which the clubs are locked out. The governance of the game needs to be modernised.”

The culmination of this conflict saw Kurth leading a proposal for a hypothetical European Super League, controlled by the clubs, to wrestle back some control from the administrating bodies.

Though it was unclear as to whether this proposal would ever actually go ahead, or whether it was simply being used as a bargaining chip in the ongoing negotiations between FIFA and the G14, there are obvious parrallels to be drawn with the current proposal drafted by the Gifted Group.

It is important to note that the end result of the G14′s protracted battle with FIFA and UEFA resulted in a long legal battle and an out of court settlement. The settlement gave some concessions to the clubs, but the structures of the sport have remained more or less the same.

Breakaway

In the same way that Kurth had formerly represented European football clubs, the same could occur under the Gifted Group proposal with regard to WorldTour teams. Whether the Gifted Group has legs or not, it is likely to be something the UCI cannot simply ignore – particularly with people like Kurth involved.

At the very least the threat has given new momentum to calls from mangers like Jonathan Vaughters for a different approach to the way television revenue is distributed in the sport of cycling.
