I understand Tinkov's words as a message to the authorities: "I accept the latest trend in the cycling's top league. I'm here to invest and make serious business. It's up to you to maintain equal conditions for all involved."
It's just a question whether he can match Sky's contribution to the business.

Ah, there it is.

We should be looking for Cookson to open a Swiss account? Sysmex machines for all?

Dave.
 
How did Tinkov ever get the ability to get that rich? He seems like a complete tool.

I guess even people like him could get tons of cash and assets in the post Soviet collapse plundering of state assets.

I really want to see Contador beat Froome and Tinkov to become a master troll and say its normal for clean riders to do 6.6w/kg on Hautacam.

One can hope..

That's awesome!

Dawg won't know what to do with himself.

Supplies of Gas6 will be at an all time low.

Hautacam will be an in-saddle acceleration fest! Dawg v Contador.

An account shouldn't present a problem for an "efficient, not stupid" businessman.
But Cookson's loyalty to his basis might present a problem.

I certainly agree, but my issue is that cycling (us fans included) has allowed slightly less loud-mouthed (but no less 'evil') influences in cycling for decades.

Cycling is full of toxic people that are way more deeply entrenched in the sport than Oleg, and have a lot more influence on riders. Riis is still running the team, and I wouldn't trust that cheater further than I could throw him...

I used to hate Horner and Tinkov, but I've grown fonder of both of them. At least it's pretty clear what you're getting with them..

The same way Murdoch did... :rolleyes:
 
To quot Tyler Hamilton on Tinkov, such a shame he is involved in the team

Already at the first team meeting, where we sat in a conference room, Oleg Tinkov said: 'I do not care what you do, just do not get caught'. You can write this because there were many people in the room who can confirm it, if Tinkov decided to sue me for saying this,

OMG! Oleg Tinkoff said something, and then Oleg Tinkoff did something!!!!

YAY FOR PRO CYCLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

Now I can't WAIT for the 2014 season...when every single hack, wannabe "journalist" hangs on every single word and action that this self-deluded tool offers up. It will be simply irresistible! :rolleyes:

Geez, I wish I had a twitter account, then I could retweet every single f'cking word this guys spews out over the next 10 months.


Don't look now...

This sport is a comedy show from start to finish. You can't make this stuff up.

One look at Contador, arms crossed, no smiles, no acknowledgment of his new boss. Riis got 10 mill to forgive, poor Berti, not a sausage....

And Boardman's quote comes unbidden to mind -

"It's a circus,and I don't want to be one of the clowns."

Ekimov, Vinokourov, and Tinkov all in leading positions. Cycling has a bright future…in fact, it's positively glowing.

What have you got against Russians?
