Next week Vladimir Gusev will be a competitive cyclist again as he'll take part in the Russian national championship but it's still unknown which trade team he'll ride for. Since his appearances at the world championships and the Chrono des Nations in October, he awaited a decision of the Court of Arbitration in Sport (CAS) concerning his conflict since September 1, 2008, with his previous team Astana that he joined from Discovery Channel at the end of 2007.
