Vincenzo Nibali is not really excited about the offer from Oleg Tinkov. The Team boss of Tinkov-Saxo proposed earlier this week to Nairo Quintana, Chris Froome, Alberto Contador and Nibali one million dollar, when do would ride the Giro, Tour and Vuelta in 2015. The Tour de France winner of 2014 is skeptical.
“If I were Oleg Tinkov, I would use the money to start some development teams. That would create a great future for the sport.” Nibali said on his twitter account.
‘Why can’t I do both?”, Tinkov immediately answered on twitter. “Next year we will have an U23-team at Tinkov-Saxo.”
The offer from Tinkov earlier this week has caused some commotion in the cycling world. While Nibali is skeptical, team bosses Dave Brailsford (Team Sky) and Eusebio Unzue (Movistar) have stated that they are considering the offer.
