Colnago bikes cross line in first at Colnago factory

Team Tinkoff Credit Systems technical sponsor is Ernesto Colnago and it was only fitting that on the Giro's final stage practically the whole squad had lined up to make sure their teammate Mikhail Ignatiev would win the Trofeo Garibaldi, the special sprint prize, with its "line drawn right in front of the gates of my factory - it was a pleasure to see three Tinkoff rider's on my bikes taking all the points," said Colnago to Tinkoff's Press Officer Sergey Kurdyukov.

Colnago continued to stress the "good relationship with Russian cycling for decades. You can bet this new team will win a lot more in the future."
