Team owner "Tinkoff-Saxo" Oleg Tinkoff announced plans for the next season

. Famous Russian businessman Oleg Tinkoff the presentation form of his team spoke about their own plans for the next season. Earlier Tin'kov regularly rode some stage of the prestigious stage races: - In fact, last year I tried to go a lot, drove 8000 km, Half of which uphill .Next year I plan to ride less, because initially the team, as well as any start-up, and it was just a start, needed to I was there. Meanwhile the Tour is very difficult to ride, because the French gendarmes really do not like me .With Italians, I can always get an agreement – they are our people, they love me, Spaniards, well, it's ... who asks them, and as for the French, they did not even give me a chance to ride. They say, "Yes, we know that you are the owner of the team, we all understand it, but let's get down from the bike." Therefore, make exclusive statement: I decided next to ride every stage of Giro d'Italia. I will start in three to four hours before the riders, I hope that they will not catch me. If they do, then it is time for me to quit!
