He is back up and riding.
Had an accident on day one of this year's Criterium International. He was a guest rider at the recent Tour de Vendée (18 April), but bailed after 40km.
I think that he plans to ride the TDF this year.

Your body will always last you a lifetime. After that, you die.

he and his current team have parted ways as he was pissed they would not let him use his asthma meds. I am sure there are other behind the scenes reasons, but none the less, there will be no Beloki in this years tour.

He is apparently hoping to find another team and be competitive for the Vuelta. At least, that is what cyclingnews said.

Latest is that Beloki will [probably] ride the Vuelta for Saunier Duval. Can anyone confirm this rumour?

This is from www.cyclingnews.com as of yesterday:


Beloki talks to Saunier Duval
Beloki talks to Saunier Duval
Joseba Beloki, who ended his relationship with Brioches La Boulangère mid-season, has been in contact with Spanish teams for a possible transfer back to home turf. Notably, the Saunier Duval-Prodir team has emerged as a possible destination with interest in Beloki as a leader for the Vuelta a España this September. Beloki's agent Pablo Arregui has begun preliminary discussions with the team, according to a Marca report.

Beloki has expressed his desire to return to a Spanish team after his failed experiment on French soil with La Boulangère. While interested in returning to the roost with his former ONCE director Manolo Saiz, who now runs the Liberty Seguros team of Roberto Heras, Beloki may find his options limited at this time of year since most team budgets have long since been closed.

Saunier Duval has found ample success already this season, but still lacks a big leader for the grand tours. In addition, a possible increase on sponsorship involvement could offer the team prospects for entry in the Pro Tour in 2005 with Beloki at the helm for the Tour de France and Vuelta a España.

No problem. I hope he finds a good team and his form again.
