Tinkov to @cirogazzetta: 'If I can find a way to do it legally, I'd like to cut Sagan's salary.'

As mentioned in @cycling_podcast, Tinkov clearly of opinion that Sagan's deal is part of Riis's (unwanted) legacy.

And his team is a toy, and he might get bored with his toy and throw it away.

Good times.

The first cut is the deepest so he'll be ok.

Thought Oleg was the one who had been desperate to sign Sagan in the first place? The bloke's a complete moron.

He's seen as one of The Riis boys that's mainly why he wants rid of him

It was interesting that Peter said in the press earlier this week (I think) in reply to criticism from Oleg that he would rather reply to him in person, face to face, and not through the media. I get the impression that Peter has little interest in taking any sh!t from Oleg and would be quite happy to tell him * "go fook yourself, keep your damn money, I'm off."

DD.

* Sagan may or may not say these words in the future!

Pretty sure he would have plenty of offers on the table if he were to leave.

Fortunately, wealthy egomaniacs like Tinkov have no interest in politics and focus their attention on more important matters, like sport.
