Team Astana dismiss Alexandre Vinokourov ahead of Tour de France !

It's a thunderclap for the Kazakh team. Led by Alexandre Vinokourov for years, the team had taken up residence in Brittany a few days ago in anticipation of the Tour de France. But the management team, disagreed for many months with the former rider, decided to be laid off just before departure, evoking personal reasons. A situation that the interested party does not accept, who is looking for a way with his lawyers to overturn this decision. An incredible situation which will undoubtedly have the effect of weakening the group, while Jakob Fuglsang will try to achieve a good general classification on this 108th edition.
