"The 35-year-old Vinokourov will be riding for the Kazakh national team at the Tour de l'Ain, rather than with leading team Astana, which is competing separately.
Vinokourov, whose ban came when racing for Astana at the 2007 Tour de France, has yet to be accepted back to the team. Astana's Alberto Contador won the Tour de France for the second time last month, with teammate and seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong finishing third.
However, Vinokourov is hopeful he will soon be racing again for Astana."
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wonder welcoming the arms of Alberto will be when Vino shows up to take the reins back.
