theage.com.au said:Alberto Contador's Astana team was registered on Wednesday to race on the International Cycling Union's ProTour calendar of events next year.
The UCI approved the Kazakh-backed team's 2010 season entry but still wants assurances that Astana can meet its budget.
"The UCI awaits this bank guarantee and is confident it will be provided soon," the governing body said in a statement.
Contador, the 2009 Tour de France champion, was expected to leave if Astana was excluded.
The oil-rich Kazakhstan government has said it will back Astana's total budget for next year, a pledge worth $US22 million ($A23.94 million).
Astana riders went without some pay cheques last season when Contador and Lance Armstrong were teammates.
