Oleg Tinkov takes over Saxo

[Hont]

That'll be interesting for Contador given that his ultimate boss is now the man who, back in September, implied that he wanted rid of him....

"If Bjarne get rid of Conta I may re-think my departure from #TeamSaxoTinkoff."

Not sure about Tinkov really. I mean he's obviously a cycling fan but so is Flavio Becca.

Now he's saying he's got the best manager and the best cyclist. Impulsive?

I think he's a loose cannon but at least he's putting some money into cycling.

My favourite bit:

[Contador] ... never really wants to drink champagne and is always careful about what he eats ... That’s a stupid attitude, that’s why he kept crashing ...The guys who are always serious are always boring. They can f**k off. They’re boring guys, they have a terrible life.

It must be so difficult for people who know Oleg to work out what he thinks of them...
