Katusha-Alpecin riders are set to be paid their October wages from the team’s UCI bank guarantee after a sponsor failed to meet their financial obligations.

The staff and riders had to wait a full month for September's wages and, although those funds were eventually paid by the team, there has been a second delay of roughly 15 days with October salaries.
