Beloki pulls the plug on Stayer
After extensive negotiation, Joseba Beloki has ended discussions with the Italian electrical firm Stayer to join a new team planned for 2004. Beloki, who was Stayer's pick as team leader, called off the deal, dissatisfied with Stayer's financial guarantees. Along with his lawyer Pablo Arregui and former professional Abraham Olano, whom Beloki had invited to join as directeur sportif, the former ONCE leader traveled to Italy to meet with Stayer representatives, but ultimately went home empty handed.
BelokiはStayerとの交渉を打ち切ります
膨大な交渉の末、J・ベロキはStayer社と共に2004年の新しいチームに加わる計画の協議を終了した。ベロキはStayer社との交渉のトップとして選ばれたが、Stayer社の金銭上の保証に不満を抱き、この契約交渉を解消した。

While Beloki is reported to have interest from teams such as Gerolsteiner, Saeco, and Alessio, those teams may not be as interested as Stayer in hiring his entire entourage of ex-ONCE men. Beloki's preference was always to continue riding for a Spanish team, but it appears his options now remain international. In fact, Beloki denied any link to the Italian Saeco team. "I don't have anything from them," he told the Spanish paper Marca. "That news came out because people want to discredit Stayer."
"We came with all the hope in the world, but in the end we couldn't reach an agreement," Beloki said of the Stayer proposition. "I think a contract like mine is complex enough. In sporting terms it was the most attractive project, with Abraham [Olano] and several riders in whom I have confidence, but it was necessary to take everything into account."
ベロキは、たとえばゲロルシュタイナー、サエコ、アレッシオ、といったチームに興味を持っている、と報道されている。一方で、これらのチームは、ベロキを取り巻いている、元ONCEの選手達を雇う気はないかもしれない。
ベロキは常に、スペインチームとして自転車に乗ることを最優先条件にしているが、彼の選択肢は依然として海外のスポーンサーのままのようだ。
実際は、ベロキはイタリアのサエコとのどんな関係も否定しました。「ぼくはそれらのチームとのどんな関係もない」と、スペインのマルカ紙に語った。
「まわりのみんながStayer社を疑いたいから、そのニュースが出たんだろう。」
ベロキは人づてにStayer社に主張した「ぼくたちは望みを持って、世界中と交渉した。しかし結局、合意に達することができなかった。」
「僕のケースの様な契約は、難しいことだと思っている。スポーツチームというのは、魅力的なプロジェクトだし、信頼しているオラーノや何人かのライダー達との、スポーツを通した結びつき（新しいチームの計画）は、最も魅力的なプロジェクトだった。しかし、すべてを考慮に入れることは必要だったんだ。

No Go for Stayer
Joseba Beloki has ended his negotiations with the Stayer Company, having decided that it could not give him the necessary financial guarantees. Abraham Olano, who is lined up to be the Basque rider's next sport director said that although Beloki had travelled to Italy with the hope of joining the company, "we have verified that it has failed to make payments to its basketball team and the company is not in a good financial state.”
Stayerには行かない。
ベロキは、彼に必要な財政の保証を与えることができなかったことで、Stayer社との交渉を終わらせた。
将来のバスク人選手のスポーツディレクターであるオラーノは「だけどベロキはStayerへの加入への期待を抱いて、イタリアへ旅立ったんだ。」と語り。また「我々は、Stayer社がスポンサーをしているバスケットチームへ支払いができなかったということと、それが金銭的に破綻している状態だということを確認しました。」と語った。
This confirms our news roundup assessment of November 4th when we reported:
“The Italian machinery manufacturer Stayer, who are interested in sponsoring a new cycling team to which Beloki and Olano are linked were recently in the financial papers - "Milan, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Italian machinery manufacturer Stayer said on Friday auditor Deloitte & Touche had declined to sign its accounts for the first half of 2003 on concerns over the company's turnaround plan. "The firm believes that the uncertainty (over the turnaround) can be overcome with a capital increase, which a shareholders' assembly has been called to debate on Oct. 24, 27 and 28," Stayer said in a statement.
"Stayer had net debt of 3.4 million euros at the end of August 2003."
Olano continued to say, “We cannot take part in a project that does not have guarantee of continuity both economically and from the sporting viewpoint. It is a big disappointment because we thought we might be able to start work soon.”
Olano, is now recommending that Beloki " finds a team as quickly as possible since the start of the season is not far away and it will soon be time to start preparatory work and getting to know new team mates".
Beloki must now weigh up other possibilities and Olano does not discard the chance that Beloki may return to Saiz: "That is question between the two men. They had a tense situation but we shall see. The sooner it is decided better and the other riders who are involved also need to know what is happening as quickly as possible.”
Joseba will meet tomorrow with leaders of the Saeco team. Although there offer was less financially attractive than Stayers they have a solid reputation in the cycling world . However if Beloki were to go to the team of Martinelli, only two riders would be able to accompany him ( his brother Gorka and Mikel Pradera ? ) and possibly Abraham Olano. It would also mean that Saeco would be able to mount to mount a double Tour challenge - Simoni for the Giro Pink and Beloki for the Tours yellow.
Also rumoured to be interested in the services of Beloki for next season are the Gerolsteiner team.
ベロキとStayer社とは交渉決裂したみたいですね。記事が一気に来たので、翻訳おいつきません。もともと語学に疎いですし。（私みたいに語学に弱い方は是非、nacoさんのページをご覧になってください。あちらは情報量・質ともに凄いです）
