Jaksche expects to return to peloton

Jörg Jaksche expects to ride again for his Tinkoff team. "I start training every day at 10 a.m. and put in my time. I'm just waiting now for what comes. I haven't been fired, you know," he told the dpa press agency.

Jaksche and Hamilton were suspended by Team Tinkoff after their names were associated with the Fuentes investigation, and the Giro d'Italia organiser pressured the team not to bring them to the race.

"We rode an internal qualification on Sardinia before the Giro, and we two [Jaksche and Hamilton -ed] had the fastest times on the team," Jaksche said. "Tinkoff was full of praise. Then suddenly came the news of the suspension."
