Alberto Contador, Peter Sagan, Rafal Majka and Ivan Basso will present the race kit for the 2016 season on December 19th during the bib draw of the Audi Fis Ski World Cup - Ladies Alpine competition in the Courchevel ice rink. On December 20th, Peter Sagan will ride his snow bike after the end of the first run of the giant slalom.
Tinkoff and Courchevel will bring together the world's best athletes in the sports of cycling and skiing by holding two eye-catching events during the Audi Fis Ski World Cup - Ladies Alpine competition.
On Saturday, December 19th, Alberto Contador, Peter Sagan, Rafal Majka and Ivan Basso will take to the stage during the bib draw of the Audi Fis Ski World Cup - Ladies Alpine competition in the Courchevel ice rink. The team's three riders and its technical coordinator will officially unveil the 2016 racewear, one week after the debut of the striking "La Datcha" training kit in Gran Canaria.
Showing off his legendary bike-handling skills the following day, Sunday, December 20th, Peter Sagan will ride his snow bike on the Giant Slalom course between the two competition runs. After a long and successful season riding on roads, cobblestones, the desert or the lava of Mount Etna, the 2015 World Champion will tackle for the first time the snowed slopes of the Alps.
According to Stefano Feltrin, Managing Director of Tinkoff, "the public unveiling of the following year's colors is a milestone for every professional sports team and holding it in Courchevel is, undoubtedly, the best way to end the season in style. Courchevel is an iconic ski resort and this event will bring together the elite of two popular sports, cycling and skiing. The world's best riders will share the ice rink with the world's best female skiers".
"Courchevel has also strong ties to team owner Oleg Tinkov, as one of his two "La Datcha" chalets under construction is located there", commented Feltrin on the two properties, in Courchevel and Val Thorens, that will be ready and available for rent in late 2016.
"It is with great honor that Courchevel hosts Tinkoff for the presentation of its official kit on December 19th and 20th. During the weekend, we organize a Ski World Cup - Ladies Alpine competition, and on that occasion, the Classic Tennis Tour will also take place in the resort. The participation of Tinkoff, currently the most talented cycling team, will make the Courchevel event a must for all fans of top-level sports. We are proud to welcome so many champions in our beautiful resort of Courchevel", commented Philippe Mugnier, mayor of Courchevel Saint Bon.
