Contador team sponsor

THE Tinkoff-Saxo cycling team, led by twice Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, has received a boost with Denmark’s Saxo Bank announcing it will remain a co-title sponsor for 2015.

The team is owned by Russia’s Oleg Tinkov and managed by Dane Bjarne Riis, with Saxo Bank involved since 2008. Tinkov, who bought the team from Riis last year, suggested last week that the team would change its name to Tinkoff Team, but yesterday’s announcement confirmed it would remain as it is.

Spaniard Contador, a pre-race favorite, crashed out of this year’s Tour, but the team’s Polish rider Rafal Majka claimed the mountain classification. The team also took three stages at the Tour, which was won by Vincenzo Nibali of Italy.
