They're unlikely to be impressed. Saxo is a Danish bank that Riis brought on board. They bought into Riis, not Tinkov. Tinkov has been trying to wind up Danes in general. I don't think Saxo are going to be around as sponsors much longer.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Was just reading the Inner Ring piece and saw the deal Riis cut Oleg on what essentially amounts to a business that can't turn a profit and has no real assets... You wouldn't buy a car off Bjarne Riis, would you?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Nice article thanks for posting - assuming it's true nice to have some genuine insight into team dynamics.
I suppose cycling has always been a bit jobs for the boys and if it is no longer Riis' own money at stake I can imagine that it would be very easy for the team to become over staffed and a bit too comfortable.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -
Based on Sagan's interviews over the years, I wonder what language the argument between him and Tinkov was in ?0

He duly ordered the 1996 Tour winner to take Steven de Jongh's place in the first team car the following day. Tinkov presumably wasn’t impressed with what he saw, for the team’s Technical Manager, Ricardo Scheidecker, was behind the wheel for the final stage of Tirreno and at Milan-San Remo the following weekend.0

Definitely a good article though. I wasn't aware of Riis aloofness, distraction, lack of focus etc. I have revised my opinion of him down a few notches and given some equilibrium to my thoughts on the move by Oleg.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Lots of background, insider info. Not just guess work, and nicely put together.
Surprised you didn't know what Riis was like - Ever seen him interviewed?

No not really, he is a bit of a shadow man.

Damn I was just going to suggest that. :PCorrelation is not causation.0 -

It will be a dangerous path for the sport if manager sackings start to become the norm. Perfect breeding ground for 'win at all costs' tactics.0

Saxo Bank CEO Lars Seier Christensen has said he believes it is possible to resolve the current situation between Oleg Tinkov and Bjarne Riis, the owner and manager of the Tinkoff-Saxo team, and has offered to personally mediate between the two in order to find a solution.Contador is the Greatest0
