Tinkoff-Saxo team launch 2014
On behalf of Shift Active, I headed over to Gran Canaria to act as press officer for Tinkoff-Saxo's 2014 team launch.
It was a flying visit, arriving on the Tuesday and flying back on the Thursday. But while there I interviewed many of the Tinkoff-Saxo team including Alberto Contador and Nico Roche. In all I penned six pieces in two days including:
> Team launch press release
> Extra news story around the launch
> Interview with CEO Stefano Feltrin
> Feature on Tinkoff-Saxo rider Roman Kreuziger
> Gear focus piece on Tinkoff sponsor Specialized
> Q&A with Roche for The Cyclist magazine
