Saxo Bank, the online trading and investment specialist, today announced that the bank will continue as title sponsor for Riis Cycling A/S whether Alberto Contador will be on the team in 2011 or not.

“I am truly happy and grateful to know that Saxo Bank sees the value in continuing their support of our team even before the adjudication and their decision to come through only underlines their integrity. The big mutual respect between us is a result of the strong and loyal partnership we have developed throughout the last couple of years,” comments team owner, Bjarne Riis and adds:

“Obviously, I am proud of the confidence that Saxo Bank, SunGard and Specialized have in me and the Team. Of course, we hope that Alberto is acquitted and can ride as planned in 2011 but for now, we hold our nerve and await what will happen,” says team owner Bjarne Riis.
