'Dale Posted October 10, 2013 Share Four million Euro salary. Not bad for a kid who can wheelie, do a bit of climbing and win a couple of sprints and a green jersey here and there. Management seems to be fighting off offers for Sagan by several teams.No doubt, he's an awesome rider. Jacques999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted October 23, 2013 Share Cannondale ends talks with Tinkoff Bike company becomes majority owner, Sagan to stay. American bicycle manufacturer Cannondale announced today that it has acquired the majority ownership of the Cannondale Pro Cycling team and Brixia Sports, and that negotiations with Tinkoff Credit Systems have been ended.Oleg Tinkov was reportedly attempting to gain a 55% share of the team to the tune of six million euros. The CEO of Dorel, Cannondale's parent company, Martin Schwartz lent his support to the team's future. "This further investment underlines our respect and the value for the accomplishments of the Cannondale team and recognizes the many benefits this association has brought to the Cannondale brand," Schwartz said. "Additionally, it comes on the heels of our acquisition of the Caloi brand in Brazil and our intention to market Cannondale throughout Latin America." According to the Cannondale press release, Peter Sagan, twice the Tour de France green jersey winner, will remain with the team along with other stand-out riders Moreno Moser, Elia Viviani and U23 world champion Matej Mohoric. "2013 has been an amazing year for Cannondale Pro Cycling athletes and for the awareness of the Cannondale brand," Bob Baird, CEO, the Cannondale Sports Unlimited said. "We're looking forward to this next step with the team. We're passionate about pro cycling and furthering the sport with integrity and have a vision of building the most admired pro cycling team in the peloton. We have seen an increase in our market share of Cannondale since beginning this association and expect this to continue." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale - I think everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Tinkoff was not a good marriage for Cannondale. Hopefully by the time Sagan`s contract needs to be renewed they have another major sponsor on board.

nickc Posted November 22, 2013 Share Cannondale Pro Cycling finalizes 2014 team roster Gatto, Marcato and Bennett join the squad. Cannondale Pro Cycling revealed its complete 2014 team roster on Thursday. Following a successful inaugural 2013 season with 35 stage victories and a Tour de France green jersey win, the team aims to continue developing young, talented riders from around the globe. Twenty-seven men make up next year's team, including three recent signings, four neo-professionals and 20 returning riders. Experienced Italian riders Marco Marcato and Oscar Gatto will help lead the team throughout the Classics season and in the Grand Tours. A skilled, all-round rider, the 29-year-old Marcato raced for the WorldTour team Vacansoleil-DCM in 2012. His strong character will add depth to the team during the Classics and his experience as a domestique will allow him to work with and support team star Peter Sagan. Gatto, 28, was captain of his previous team, Fantini Vini, and has nine professional wins including a stage of the Giro d'Italia in 2011. The skilled rider will both support Sagan during the Classics and take the lead in additional races.Another promising new addition to the talented group is New Zealander George Bennett. The 23-year-old climber took the silver medal in the New Zealand road championship in 2013 and joins Cannondale Pro Cycling from World Tour team RadioShack Leopard Trek. Cannondale Pro Cycling has also signed four promising young guns as previously announced in August: former junior world champion and current U23 World Champion Matej Mohoric (Slovenia), and three Italians: Davide Villella, Alberto Bettiol and Davide Formolo. The returning 20 riders include the following: Peter Sagan (Slovakia), Ivan Basso (Italy), Moreno Moser (Italy), Elia Viviani (Italy), Damiano Caruso (Italy), Ted King (USA), Maciej Bodnar (Poland), Guillaume Boivin (Canada), Alessandro De Marchi (Italy), Michel Koch (Germany), Kristijan Koren (Slovenia), Matthias Krizek (Austria), Paolo Longo Borghini (Italy), Alan Marangoni (Italy), Daniele Ratto (Italy), Fabio Sabatini (Italy), Juraj Sagan (Slovakia), Cristiano Salerno (Italy), Josè Cayetano Sarmiento (Colombia) and Cameron Wurf (Australia).
