BRUSSELS, March 5 (Reuters) - Cycling's major teams will be able to compete in the Paris-Nice race without fear of sanctions after the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the race organisers reached an agreement on Monday.

UCI president Pat McQuaid had threatened to punish any team taking part in the week-long race which starts on Sunday after it was dropped by the governing body's Pro-Tour following a dispute with organisers Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO).

Last month, the UCI wrote to all 20 teams on its Pro-Tour telling them it no longer recognised the Paris-Nice race and ordered them not to enter.

I am sorry, but how can this have happened? Paris- Nice now, Milan - San Remo next? One can not simply ignore the classics. I am besides myself here. Anyone else have input on this topic? i should call Fignon and see what is going on over there, I am so out of touch with the politics of the sport.
