TEAM SAXO BANK – A WINNING COMBINATION

In June 2008, Saxo Bank signed a major sponsorship agreement with Bjarne Riis’ cycling team . The agreement meant that Saxo Bank, together with CSC, became sponsor of the cycling team ahead of the Tour de France in July of the same year.

The victory in the Tour de France also helped secure Team CSC Saxo Bank a victory in the team competition for the second time in its history, while tour debutant Andy Schleck won the white youth jersey.
