Oleg Tinkov: Who is the best Grand Tour rider at the moment?

It’s time for the Vuelta a Espana, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to be at the race much this year, perhaps only for the finish. Last year we celebrated Alberto Contador’s big win, but I’ve got a lot of travelling lined up with the bank in the next few weeks. Like a lot of people, I’ve got to start working again after a long summer.

Oleg Tinkov created his business empire by selling jeans he bought at a training camp as a junior. He now owns the Tinkoff-Saxo team and is never afraid to speak his mind, be it about team leader Alberto Contador, Tour de France rivals Team Sky and especially about how professional cycling is managed.
