Elk Haus to start Deutschland Tour

Team Elk Haus-Simplon, which had its wild card invitation revoked earlier this week, will get a start in the Deutschland Rundfahrt after all. The team was denied a start this week after organisers complained that the team did not submit the correct paperwork to enter, and had also failed to sign the UCI antidoping charter. A German court issued a preliminary injunction forcing the race to allow the Austrian Professional Continental team to start.

"It looks like we will be able to start," team manager Bernhard Rassinger told the German television website, ARD.de. "I have just been informed that we were successful with our request for an injunction."
