Euskaltel and Orbea allowed in same races

It was reported last week that the UCI would not allow Euskaltel and Orbea to participate in the same races any more as Orbea was allegedly 'supported' by their WorldTour colleagues. This has now been denied.

The website that carried the news, Velofutur, today writes that the UCI have corrected the 'mistake', and that the two teams are free to compete in the same races. The governing body deemed the two to be 'independent', and as such not in violation of the current rules.
