Elk Haus Deutschland start upheld

A German court has upheld the decision to allow the Austrian Team Elk Haus-Simplon to start in the recently-ended Deutschland Tour. The race management revoked its wild-card invitation to the Professional Continental team only days before the race started.

The team received a preliminary injunction allowing it to start. The race appealed that decision, and the injunction was upheld by the Landgericht in Hamburg on Monday.
