Statement by the disqualified teams: 

> We made clear that:

> We would not select a rider ourselves, nor install, remove, or maintain the device.

> The UCI or its partner was free to select a rider and install the device at their own liability if they believe they are in their right to do so.

> The reason why they don’t want to nominate a rider themselves is still unknown and unanswered.
