“I’m really proud of this group of riders, and I’m very much looking forward to begin working with these guys, so we are perfectly ready for next year,” said team owner Bjarne Riis.

The first task for the new team is waiting just around the corner. On Sunday a 14-day session kicks off at Playitas on Fuerteventura, where superb facilities and a wonderful climate provide ideal conditions for team building before the coming season.

Riis Cycling’s staff will participate as well as all the riders, including Alberto Contador.

“I think it is important, that we all remember, that Alberto is not guilty until a judgment is made that indicates something otherwise. This has been the message from the UCI, and I think we should all respect that. We have also met with the UCI, and they have assured us that there are no problems in taking Alberto to our team building camp,” Riis says.

“It’s an incredibly important camp for the team and our entire organization. It is the first time that we all get together and a great chance to get to know each other. This is where we create the complete foundation for our organization. Therefore, we will continue to work with our team building at Playitas,” continues Bjarne Riis.
