Team Saxo Bank with a new bank co-sponsor?

[EnacheV]

Oleg Tinkov ‏@olegtinkov 12h

Bjarne Riis said today that it was HIS decision to stop& didn't like my comments?Why then he called me 3 days ago and pray to sponsor?#funny

If he doesn't lie than Riis doesn't have a 2nd sponsor yet

 

[Sophistic82]

why was the post about tinkow tweeting that riis just recently "prayed" him to sponsor, deleted?

 

[Le Baroudeur]

Any news on how Riis plans to fill the 6 million hole in his budget?!

So far he has only signed Valgren and I have not heard of any rumours.

Last year he signed some big earners with Tinkoff's money but how will he pay them now?

I say cut Conti's salary, it eats up 3/4 of the budget and is not warranted anymore by his results!

The only reference to 6 million is from Tinkov, the Same Tinkov that went out of his way to state unequivocally that he did not demand, nor would demand, any sporting control... 12 months later he was doing just that... ...Claiming 'bla bla bla' for his departure amid other tourettes induced musings.

All the contracts are covered was the message from the main sponsor, and that tallies with the filing on the PT application made..

6 million expansion plan perhaps... It's no secret the goal is to nock team Murdoch off the top spot.

Because a mod thought it's baiting and trolling, you can find more details in the moderators thread.

So, either Tinkov is telling lies or Riis doesn't quite have a 2nd sponsor yet, at all.

Sorry....have I missed something..? Can u explain how this is baiting and trolling please.

Thank you.

 

[EnacheV]

So no 2nd sponsor, Contador taking pay cuts and 1/3 of the team not confirmed for 2014.

I just hope Riis can keep his existing sponsor.

That is not entirely true.

Just stop trolling

 

[EnacheV]

O really? Hey report me, maybe a troll will evaluate my trolling again and you get lucky.

Stop using troll accusation when you don't like something.

This is NOT entirely true? Let's hear your arguments.

1. So no 2nd sponsor - check. Is there one ? i don't see it.
2. Contador taking pay cuts - check, see interviews.
3. 1/3 of the team not confirmed for 2014 - check, see interviews.

You know what Florecita, you stop trolling.

If you'd paid attention you would've noticed that everything points towards a future collaboration between Team Saxobank and Kemo Bikes.

It is too early to say there is no second sponsor. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that we don't know anything about.

why would anyone trust riis?a dishonest person throughout his career, same mentality as bruyneel and remember what he did...letting riders sign a new contract just before dissolving radioshack/taking it to trek.
just days ago it was posted that all contracts are safe and now riders have to take a pay cut...
and the kemo bike deal is even more ridicolous...contador has a huge deal with specialized and then saxo is going to ride kemo?

The current 15 contracts are covered. However, they need 23 riders to continue as a Pro Tour team next year. So Riis needs $$$.

Also, I think Contador's Specialized deal ends this year but I am not sure.

[...] and remember what he did...letting riders sign a new contract just before dissolving radioshack/taking it to trek.

Sorry, what?

 

[Sophistic82]

Sorry, what?

Riders like Brajkovic signed new contracts with radioshack when Bruyneel was already in talks with Becca(and the riders didnt know anything about). Then Bruyneel dissolved radioshack and some riders were without contract late in the transfer period.

wasnt tinkov bringin about 5 millions?not a single big-name is leaving the team, how is he covering these contracts?the salaries of the b and c riders do not add up to 5 millions.

Stop trolling and the the accusations will stop.

1. According to who? You?
2. According to who? Staghøj? the same guy that has Ty Hamilton on the payroll and is a National joke for his lack of accuracy in search of clicks?
3. According to who? four riders have mentioned having not contract, and you actually think Staghøj asked only four? Last year Majka had no publicly announced contract at around this time, and yet it transpired that he had already signed in january.

Sporten.dk has no real story. The BG is filed, Main riders in place, 8 riders (if needed) can be had for €300,000.

end, sans EnacheV style dig at the end.

I'm guessing Kreuziger, Roche & Rogers aren't cheap.

Your opinion (with with very few remotely agree), used as a prefix to a rant about radio shack.

Who said contracts are covered? LSC, Who said riders have to take cuts? an anonymous source inside Staghøj's brain.

Feel free to post a source for the contract extension with Specialized.

Questions to LSC. He is the "main sponsor" and the one who said they were covered. You do realise the team has many expenses other than salaries, and likewise many sponsors other than the main two?

Take another look at the wording of Oleg's tourette and the use of the word "plan" together with "6 million short"?

 

[Le Baroudeur]

So no 2nd sponsor,

According to who?

Contador taking pay cuts

According to the hugely reputable Sporten.dk.

and 1/3 of the team not confirmed for 2014.

Because it's against the rules not to publicly announce all contracts within 3 seconds of them being signed?

I just hope Riis can keep his existing sponsor.

Pure FUD. terms for 1014 were agreed in July.

 

[Race Radio]

Saxo have scheduled a press conference Thursday in Madrid. They promise "Important news about the future of the team" Contador and Riis will both be there

 

[LaFlorecita]

[del1962]

[biopass]

Alonso buying the licence from Riis.

Just kidding
