Alberto Contador and Bjarne Riis will be at Dulwich College today (November 18) to launch a new ‘Ride Like A Pro’ initiative - but you can only join in if you work in the financial sector.
Saxo Bank’s SaxoSport program aims to provide a peer-to-peer network for financial industry workers who enjoy healthy living and cycling performance.
Six-time Grand Tour winner Contador and his Tinkoff-Saxo manager Riis will visit students at the independent school in south London before joining Saxo clients for a ride at the Herne Hill Velodrome.
The ‘Ride Like A Pro’ program also features:
• Intensive personalised training towards personal goals;
• High frequency group training sessions with supervision;
• Interactions with World Tour Team Tinkoff-Saxo;
