UCI ProTour 2007

UCI ProTour 2007 gathers the elite of the Cyclisme on road under the aegis of UCI (International Union Cyclist).

Organization

UCI set up in 2005 a new system which constrained teams of the Elite to take part in the 27 tests registered with the calendar “UCI ProTour”. No cyclist not being able to run all these tests, a bearing is done within these teams. Each test gives points and a classification makes it possible to know the best team of the year. The Tour de France gives, for example, 100 points with the winner, against 80 for the turns of Spain and Italy, and 50 for very great classic like Paris-Roubaix or Milan-San Remo.

The 20 designated teams as Élite known as “ProTour” must obligatorily take the departure of the 27 races registered with the calendar. The other teams known as “continental” can also on invitation organizing take part it in some of these races.

Teams

In 2007, the Astana-Würth teams (group Activates Bay) and Phonak disappeared, releasing 2 licenses for this springtide. The commission of the licenses of the UCI Pro-Turn decided to allot them to the teams Unibet.com and Astana.
