The Toyota-United Pro Cycling team has sacked directeur sportif Frankie Andreu, the team and Andreu announced today. In a team statement, owner Sean Tucker said that Andreu had been sacked because his "other obligations and commitments" meant he "was not able to fulfill his contractual obligations" to the team.
However, his dismissal seems to have come as a surprise to Andreu. Andreu was informed that his contract with the team was being terminated on July 25, when he returned to the US from the Tour de France. "I am very surprised and disappointed to be told to leave especially after all the hard work of putting together this first year team," he said.
