Astana waives Paris-Roubaix participation in agreement with race organization

.

Astana manager Yvon Sanquer made an agreement with the ASO during Paris-Nice that Astana not compete in the next edition of Paris-Roubaix.

.

After Astana explained to the organization that they didn’t have specialists for competing in this very hard race, Jean François Pescheux accepted the proposal on behalf of the ASO, since it will leave a place open for one of the many other teams who have shown interest in riding Paris-Roubaix this year but have no invitation.

.

Yvon Sanquer has committed to presenting a powerful Astana team at the start line of Paris-Roubaix in 2011.
