Alonso misses 2015 cycling team chance

A prospective professional cycling team backed by Alonso is not among those registered for the 2015 season.

Formula One driver Fernando Alonso has missed his chance to register a professional cycling team for the 2015 season.

The International Cycling Union published a list of teams who have submitted a registration file for a WorldTour license to compete in cycling's top two levels next year.

A prospective team backed by Alonso, a two-time F1 champion, was not among them despite prolonged discussions over his entry into the sport.

The Ferrari driver announced last month that he had paired up with sport investment managers NOVO a day before the October 1 deadline to submit at least 10 signed rider contracts to apply to become a UCI ProTeam.
