Tinkoff-Saxo ends Riis deal
TEAM Tinkoff-Saxo has terminated the contract of manager Bjarne Riis with immediate effect.
The Russian-owned cycling team, which is based in Denmark, issued a statement on Sunday saying it has “reached a mutual agreement” with Riis. Tinkoff-Saxo said it will soon unveil the new sporting structure of the team that Riis created after ending his career as a professional cyclist in 2000. Riis, who admitted that he had used blood-booster EPO to win the Tour de France in 1996, sold the team to Russian billionaire Oleg Tinkov in December 2013. The Tinkoff-Saxo outfit includes two-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador.
