Riis' swift revenge
Should Alberto Contador get a doping suspension, then he will still go on for Bjarne Riis after the quarantine - that reveals the bike manager in large an interview with Ekstra Bladet
I went down and spoke to Alberto and saw him in the eyes, and I believe that he has not taken this on purpose, "says Bjarne Riis about Contador doping probe that pressed next year's plans before it had even started. (Photo: Claus Bjorn Larsen)
When Bjarne Riis on Tuesday with an informal reception for staff and friends of the house in Lyngby, it is to celebrate the fact that his autobiography is published.
The autobiography expresses Riis great dissatisfaction with his Luxembourgish brothers Andy and Frank Schleck, The Swiss Fabian Cancellara, and a whole raft of Saxo Bank profiles from recent years has left his team.
Among other things, Riis in the book said that it was not fair that riders did not tell him the whole truth. In fragments and guesswork had the former Tour winner this spring even reach that a massive exodus was on it's way.
And when it became clear to him, he decided to go for the ultimate and most surprising vengeance:
- The moment I began to see things clearly, it came to me that I would have Alberto Contador instead. From that moment there was no doubt that Andy and Frank would live the team, and in early June began work to make sure Alberto Contador in earnest, says Bjarne Riis.
Calm and deliberate
He gave yesterday's interview to newspaper Ekstra Bladet as a result of the newspaper has received a half chapter from the forthcoming book for review. As a kind of commerce from the publisher and Riis's hand is to create the most possible publicity to the book, which in the first edition frames the streets in massive 20,000 copies.
But it was a very relaxed Riis, who met the newspaper published in a clifftop meeting room in central Copenhagen.
With views over the rooftops and autumn leaves in the wind said Bjarne Riis quiet and deliberate on the forthcoming large sloughing due to take place on his team after the departure of a large number of stars.
- Once we had established contact with 'AC', it was my clear impression that there were no others he was interested in. I know that Caisse d'épargne very much wanted him, but they had no funds.
- And actually it went pretty quickly in making the agreement, which we did finish doing the Tour de France. During the period, while the 'AC' and Andy competed, I had pretty close contact with Alberto, says Bjarne Riis.
The book mentions Riis in diary form this year's Tour de France, and the day when Andy Schleck's chain fell off the rear derailleur, and his attacks on Contador thus failed - and the possibility of an overall victory was minimized further - had Bjarne Riis close contact with the Spaniard it shows.
Double-knowledge
Thus says Riis how he texted and talked on the phone with Contador and by this means got the Spaniard to make the video clip through the social networking twitter.com came to appear as an outstretched hand and an apology.
Riis acknowledges that it was difficult to walk around with the dual knowledge, but also describes progress during the Tour de France 2010 as some crazy weeks when he had to make efforts for maximum focus on race and the riders he was with - but was moving away.
- It was really tough to focus, I must admit. But as a business leader I have a responsibility and my responsibility was over for the riders, the staff of the team's sponsors and the many fans, "says Bjarne Riis.
The prospect of getting 'AC' to win the Tour de France and other races for Saxo Bank SunGard, was not allowed to be rosy long over the entrance to Riis Cycling A / S in Lyngby.
Jysk underestament
In late September, Riis a call on that Contador had taken the substance clenbuterol during this year's Tour.
- It was little weird, "says Riis about the episode with a genuine Jutland understatement.
- I went down and spoke to Alberto and saw him in the eye, and I believe that he has not made it here on purpose. I don't hope there is politics of the case but that he will be acquitted, "says Bjarne Riis.
And what if he does - what happens to your team?
- Nothing happens. We drive on, so just without him. Of course there is a team.
But if he gets quarantined, can he return when it is served?
- Yes, I can not see there should be no reason to.
What impact has the process been so far?
- It has meant that we have not yet completed season plan for 2011. We will wait. But I know that Alberto coach again, and the good thing is that he is extremely good to quickly get into shape, says Bjarne Riis.
