Having already announced the signing of Ivan Basso, Tinkoff-Saxo have continued the process of strengthening their stage racing roster by signing Robert Kiserlovski. The Croatian is expected to be a key support rider for Alberto Contador in grand tours.

Tinkoff-Saxo is pleased to announce that Robert Kiserlovski will join the team in 2015. The Croatian rider will make the move and ride for Tinkoff-Saxo after signing a two-year deal. Ambitious team owner Oleg Tinkov sees Kiserlovski as a strong addition to the roster.
 
“Robert is a very proven rider and a strong climber. We need a rider like him in our squad and I’m pleased to welcome him on the best cycling team in the world”, says Oleg Tinkov.
 
As a solid climber, Kiserlovski finished 10th overall at the 2010 Giro d’Italia, while riding in support of winner Ivan Basso, who’ll also make the move to Tinkoff-Saxo in 2015. According to team manager Bjarne Riis, 28-year old Kiserlovski will be an important rider when the road gets steep.
 
“I look forward to having Robert on the team. He’ll be important in the Grand Tours and throughout the season to bolster our team in hilly and mountainous terrain. When he’ at his best, he’s a rider that can offer crucial help to our captains in decisive situations and perform on his own. I’m confident that Robert will be able to improve even more on our team”, tells Bjarne Riis.
 
The protagonist himself is excited about the move to Tinkoff-Saxo.
 
“I'm really happy to join a team that has so many prominent athletes. I like the teamwork and I'm looking forward to the next two seasons. I’ll be ready every time a great champion like Alberto Contador needs my help”, concludes former Croatian champion and coming rider of Tinkoff-Saxo Robert Kiserlovski.
