Team Saxo Bank Presents 2010 Tour De France Line-Up
News & results.
Team Saxo Bank has selected the line-up for the greatest race of the year. The 2010 Tour de France starts on Saturday, July 3rd of July.
Team Saxo Bank has selected the line-up for the greatest race of the year. The 2010 Tour de France starts on Saturday, July 3rd of July with an 8.9 kilometer long prologue in the streets of Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The line-up for the Tour de France 2010: Fabian Cancellara, Andy Schleck, Fränk Schleck, Jens Voigt, Stuart O'Grady, Matti Breschel, Chris Anker Sørensen, Jakob Fuglsang and Nicki Sørensen.
Team Saxo Bank has a talented squad of riders and selecting nine riders has obviously been a huge challenge:
"We have ten riders on our Team of which all are ready and fit to do the race and that has made the job of selecting the line-up extremely difficult. That's why the decision has been made of tactical reasons," team owner Bjarne Riis commented.
Riis added "It has been a problem of pure luxury but it's not easy telling a rider to stay home when you know he would have done a great job in the race. However, we are now looking forward to a Tour de France with Team Saxo Bank in front of the race," .
The Swedish time trial specialist, Gustav Larsson is on standby in case of injuries.

Team Saxo Bank’s Reaction to 2010 Tour de France Route

Tour de France 2010 kicks off with a prologue over eight kilometers in the largest port in Europe, Rotterdam in Holland. That was a fact when the Tour de France 2010 route was presented today in Paris where the world’s current and former cycling stars were gathered. This year’s overall second of the Tour de France, Andy Schleck represented Team Saxo Bank.
The presentation held good news from the race organizers. Next year’s Tour de France route favors the mountain riders on a larger scale than this year’s edition with six tough mountain stages, three of which end on top of a climb and fewer time trials. The field will be passing legendary climbs, Col de Madeleine, Col du Tourmalet and the Col de Peyresourde. On the other hand, the climbers will be tested on stage three where the field will be passing a total of 13 kilometers with cobblestone surface, spread over seven sections around the forest of Arenberg as a tribute to Paris-Roubaix. The last section is placed within the last ten kilometers of the stage.
The GC will probably be settled on stage nineteen’s 51 kilometer long time trial before the ceremonial parade to Paris the following day.
“There are some risky elements in the Netherlands and Belgium where we must be careful not to lose unnecessary time. However, it appears that the route is harder than this year’s Tour and I could get a better chance of winning time in the mountains and lose less time on the long time trial. I’m going for the overall victory next year but it’s clear that Contador is the biggest favorite while Lance may be more motivated than everâ€Â, said Team Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck after the presentation.
“Overall, I think that next year’s route seems very interesting. I am happy to see that the mountain stages seem harder and the mountains are positioned later on each stage so they can be used for attacks. Obviously, I would like to have a team time trial but it speaks to our favor that there is only one long time trial. Last but not least, we must be very careful and aware on stage three passing the cobblestonesâ€Â, concludes Team Saxo Bank team owner Bjarne Riis.
Best regards,
Allan Jørgensen Team Saxo Bank

Tour de France 2010: Surgery for Frank Schleck as cobbles claim another victim
Frank Schleck was poised to undergo immediate shoulder surgery after being ruled out of the Tour de France yesterday, Team Saxo Bank have announced.
The champion of Luxembourg, who finished fifth in the 2009 Tour, crashed on the fourth of seven sections of cobbles on the stage from Wanze in Belgium to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut in France.
A Team Saxo Bank statement read: "After the horrible crash [yesterday], Team Saxo Bank's Frank Schleck was examined at a local hospital where X-rays revealed three fractures of his left collarbone which obviously stopped the national champion of Luxembourg from continuing the stage.
"After having congratulated his team-mates after a job well done on the cobblestones, he is undergoing immediate surgery and will be out of competition for a longer period of time."
Cervelo Test Team's Thor Hushovd won the third stage, with Team Saxo Bank's Fabian Cancellara reclaiming the race leader's yellow jersey, while Cancellara also helped Frank Schleck's brother Andy's push up the general classification standings.

About - Team Saxo Bank
Team saxo bank – a winning combination.
In June 2008, Saxo Bank signed a major sponsorship agreement with Bjarne Riis’ cycling team . The agreement meant that Saxo Bank, together with CSC, became sponsor of the cycling team ahead of the Tour de France in July of the same year. Team CSC Saxo Bank quickly produced results when the team’s captain Carlos Sastre won the Tour de France in a magnificent way. The victory in the Tour de France also helped secure Team CSC Saxo Bank a victory in the team competition for the second time in its history, while tour debutant Andy Schleck won the white youth jersey.
In January 2009, Saxo Bank took over the entire sponsorship of the team known as Team Saxo Bank. In 2011, the team name was Team Saxo Bank – Sungard. In January 2012, Saxo Bank again took over the entire sponsorship of the team under the name Team Saxo Bank.
FIRST-CLASS COOPERATION
Saxo Bank, which has won several awards for its online trading platforms, is very proud to be the co-sponsor of some of the best cyclists and best cycling teams in the world. The success of Team Saxo Bank, which is the result of strong commitment and teamwork, reflects Saxo Bank’s own focus on providing the best online trading solutions to its customers.
“At Saxo Bank we have found the perfect future partner. We are incredibly proud to be associated with such a strong brand and company that has so much interest in our team and our values. It has been a pleasure to close the deal with such interested and professional people as Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen. From the first meeting, we have had a great understanding of each other, and it seems to be a first-rate collaboration for the next several years, ”says Bjarne Riis, Director of Team Saxo Bank.
SAXO BANK’S WINNING VALUES
Saxo Bank’s two founders and directors Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen pointed out during the signing of the cooperation agreement that this is an opportunity they have long been waiting for. “For a global company like Saxo Bank, it is a perfect match and an opportunity we could not forgo when the opportunity presented itself.” Team CSC Saxo Bank has the international format and name that can help us spread our messages to our customers around the world. We love cycling and are confident that we will win together, ”they say in a joint statement. As another reason for the decision to support the team, Kim Fournais and Lars Seier Christensen mention that cycling, in addition to being one of the world’s most popular sports, also shares values with which Saxo Bank can identify. “Winning mentality and teamwork is exactly what Saxo Bank has always stood for,” they say. “Endurance and passion are other features we have in common. We are proud that we now have the opportunity to focus on these values and show what sports and business can accomplish together. ” Read more
Tres victorias de Francia para Contador!
And a fabulous five for Cav’
After the biggest fight in his cycling life, Alberto Contador has won a third Tour de France.

Contador plays down chance of Vuelta appearance
"This victory cost me a lot," he said, "and I'm very moved. I suffered a lot, but that's what you have to do to win the Tour."
And when the fat lady was warming up her vocal cords, readying her wide-berthed-self to sing to the tune of the Spanish national anthem, with all his might and power, down came HTC-Columbia's Mark Cavendish on the Champs-Élysées, proving for a fifth time this race, he still is the world's best sprinter.
"Bernie Eisel and Tony Martin were with me at the finish. Bernie took me to the tunnel the last time and Tony did a really good job to drop me on the wheel of Petacchi in the last kilometre," said the once-in-a-lifetime speedster from the Isle of Man.
"Once I was on Petacchi's wheel, I knew I could win the stage," said the 25-year-old, who holds a future as bright as the star of Sirius. "We came out of that last corner and I just jumped... Every sprint in the Tour you try and save as much energy as possible, but the Champs-Élysées, you've got nothing to save your energy for - you just go balls-out to the line, and that's kind of what I did today."
But perhaps the best story of this Tour is the legacy it leaves.
Three weeks ago on July 3, so many automatically assumed a Contador victory was a done deal. Few thought 27-year-old ' Pistolero ' would come so close to defeat at the hands of a boyish-faced, slightly naïve Luxembourger 18 months his junior - the man we know as Andy Schleck of Team Saxo Bank.
If this race has proven anything, it is that Contador, contrary to what most originally thought after his dominating ride 12 months ago, does not have a virtual stranglehold on La Grande Boucle for years to come, as much as his Astana team don't have a vice-like grip on his signature.
"Maybe I wasn't in the best shape...there were days I was not at my best. I won't say when the bad days were," Contador said, eternally reluctant to give anything away.
"Just before the Tour started, I was on antibiotics because I had a cold just before the Spanish championships, so this might have influenced my performance. Cycling is not like mathematics; there are moments when you are well prepared and everything runs smoothly, and there are times when you are well prepared and everything does not."
The era of Miguel Induráin, characterised by a monotonous level of superiority and a personality so likeable you wanted to hate him just for the sake of it, is unlikely to recur in the next decade. Not from Contador, anyway.
Yesterday in Pauillac, when the Spaniard wept uncontrollably like a child who'd lost his mother, it was because, as he admitted himself, the hardest day he'd ever ridden on the bike. The race of truth never lies, and over those 52 kilometres, had Contador's legs been two or three percent weaker, he may not have been standing where he was around 6 p.m. is Sunday, flanked by Schleck on his right and on the left, Russian Denis Menchov of Rabobank, who, for the first time, stepped on the Paris podium as quietly as he got there - with little fanfare and less of a trace.
"Yesterday [in the time trial], I thought I was still a few seconds behind Andy," said Contador, "so I never gave up till the finish line. I had a stomach ache before, but eventually things went okay."
Most pundits have said the 2010 Tour was one of the hardest in years. To find a comparatively similar race, one may have to go all the way back to the 1986 Tour that witnessed the famous Battle Royale between Bernard Hinault and Greg LeMond; a race that turned teammates into bitter rivals, with the rift remaining so till this day.
A Tour de France won by less than a minute - 39 seconds to be precise - is a great prelude to what may come a year or two from now, when Schleck will be stronger still and Contador likely back to his 2009 Tour-winning form. "I'm sure he will keep improving," Contador said.
Still, in order to win cycling's blue riband prize, one feels Schleck the younger needs to do one of two things, or both.
First, increase his cadence when climbing to allow him to attack with greater bite. Four days ago on the Col du Tourmalet, Contador responded to each of Schleck's attacks with apparent ease, looking more like a shadow than a rival. Most of all, though, the 25-year-old must take steps to eliminate what many feel remains his albatross - the time trial.
Unlike Lance, Petacchi defies the clock
The strategic game played by Norwegian Thor Hushovd, noticeably slower than last year when he took the maillot vert , did not work this time. Certainly, at the start three weeks ago in Rotterdam, Hushovd would never have thought Alessandro Petacchi - who most believed to be well past his prime - would turn out to be his greatest adversary.
Hushovd wasn't the only one taken aback by the La Spezia sprinter.
Cavendish truly felt this 93rd edition was the year he would win the classification that continues to elude him. That the best sprinter - which, by some margin, Cav' was at this Tour and the last - is rarely the one who ends with the most points reinforces the message that consistency and cunning prevails over outright speed in this competition.
Aside from his two stage wins - one ostensibly gifted due to a crash, one truly earned - it was Petacchi's uniformity over three weeks that proved the greatest surprise, including his ability to get through the Pyrénées and Alps unscathed and with speed to spare.
A poor race for polka-dots
With respect, the mountains competition was not really a competition. Because if it was, it would be like the war we saw for green: the best riders of that genre fighting tooth-and-nail as if they were fighting for the maillot jaune .
Not once did we see the Tour's best climbers - Schleck, Contador, Damiano Cunego, Samuel Sanchez, Robert Gesink - go for a mountain prime with the intention of building their lead in the polka-dot classification. Instead, it was Frenchman Anthony Charteau, an all-rounder but certainly no grimpeur , that took advantage of the lackadaisical attitude of the aforementioned and walked away with the third most prestigious (and remunerated) prize at the Tour.
Perhaps it's time for a rethink from messieurs Prudhomme and Pescheux. Time, perhaps, to introduce time bonuses for mountain primes to create a better contest and encourage attacks - which, over time, may lead to another pure climber winning the Tour, à la Marco Pantani in 1998.
You wouldn't go to school wearing the wrong uniform, would you?
At 14:30 p.m., the final stage of the Tour de France began - slowly.
But what normally begins with frolicking and frivolities turned ugly when the RadioShack nine donned some custom-made jerseys, all bearing the number 28 - referring to the 28 million people around the world suffering from cancer - after they had signed in with their standard-issue 'Shack garb. Unsurprisingly, the commissaires wouldn't have a bar of it - which, embarrassingly for Lance Armstrong et al., led to the team changing back to their real kit on the roadside.
Then, with ridiculous irony, Contador and Schleck staged a faux-sprint for the cameras - and the latter's chain got caught up, requiring a bike change! This time, however, Contador waited.
And so, with the day's drama out of the way, the peloton hit the Place de la Concorde ensemble for their final 50-odd kilometres in what has been a most arduous Tour de France. However, when it came to the inevitable sprint finish, one man possessed a pair of legs fresher, stronger and faster than those he came with three weeks ago, Cavendish making a virtual mockery of his fast-twitched rivals as he put five bike-lengths between he and Petacchi, second, and Garmin's Julian Dean, who placed third.
