Team Saxo Bank

Founded in 1998 and formally known as Team home – Jack & Jones, the newly re-named Team Saxo Bank are renowned as one of the most successful professional cycling teams in the world. The highly skilled team primarily from Denmark, are managed by Riis cycling and owned by the CEO of the company and former Tour de France Champion, Bjarne Riis.

Team home – Jack & Jones started with 11 riders, a mixture of previously successful professionals and first-time competitors. They spent their first season riding in the 2nd Division however, moved up to the UCI ProTour (previously the 1st Division) in 2000. Notably their most successful y season was in 1999 with 26 UCI wins, this allowed them to be promoted to the first division.

With the promotion came a further name change with the arrival of a new sponsor, Memory Card A/S in 2000. This was the first year the team took part in the Tour de France, and although not as successful as the previous year, contributed toward the heightened calibre of the team. The team struggled to build upon the success of the 1999 season, until 2005 when the team now known as Team CSC, won the UCI ProTour’s team classification. From here the team enjoyed a concession of successes, winning the UCI ProTour in both 2006 and 2007 and also the CQ Team Rankings 2005-2008.

The 2008 season saw some major changes in both sponsorship and team members. Riis cycling declared Saxo Bank as the new major sponsor so the team entered the Tour de France as Team CSC Saxo Bank with Carlos Sastre taking an early lead and later winning the L’Alpe D’Huez helping the team to again take the Team Classification.

This season again holds high hopes for the team now known as Team Saxo Bank, with their newest sponsorship Specialized allowing them to ride the prestigious Specialized bikes. The now 25 strong team, ranging from 21-38 years old have a wealth of experience when it comes to specialized cycling and hope to continue their success in 2010 with an aim to win the Tour de France once more.

For the more modest cyclist, Specialized also have a huge range of bikes available. With the newest 2010 ranges now obtainable, there is something to cater to the needs of cyclists of every ability. Ranges available include Specialized HardRock for beginners and the light weight, high performance Specialized Enduro and Specialized Allez made specifically for expert cyclists.

European Central Bank.

Very quietly and almost unnoticed by financial media in US , the  has reached an important milestone – 10 year anniversary. The ECB came into being June 1, 1998, as 11 European countries drew closer to merging their currencies. The Euro was launched on Jan. 1, 1999 on financial markets, and Euro notes and coins were introduced on January 1, 2002. The bank now controls monetary policy for 15 Euro countries.

 

Bank’s creation followed Maastricht Treaty, which paved the way for the single Euro currency .The treaty mandates fighting inflation as the ECB’s main priority, and so far members of the rate-setting governing council have stayed firmly with that message. This stance has been been somewhat criticized lately. There are claims that this policy has pushed the Euro to high, potentially hurting European exporters.

 

Just how steadfast has ECB been in fulfilling its primary objective? The bank has kept its key rate at 4 percent since June 2007 to fight inflation that hit a record high of 3.6 percent in March and again in May, well above its stated goal of around 2 percent. Bank’s actions are not in line with other central banks, namely Bank of England, and U.S. Federal Reserve, which have been cutting their respective benchmarks.

 

This 10 year anniversary is certainly a success story, but not without some difficulties. European Central Bank has seen the Euro plunged from initial EUR-USD valuation of about 1.2000 to 0.8200 in 2000. Since then, however, the currency has enjoyed a steady rise to a recent high of 1.6000. Almost double from the bottom. Truly a rare feat in among major currencies.

 

Today it may seem strange, but Euro and ECB success was not a forgone conclusion at the beginning. There were many voices both within Europe and outside which not only questioned a wisdom of single currency, but predicted that the monetary union wouldn’t last five years, much less ten. Europe’s Central Bank has managed to clear away the doubts that surrounded the Euro at the beginning 10 years ago. Also, officials state that common currency and Bank’s policies have added 15 million new jobs in the last six years by making trade and travel easier.

 

What is next? Well, as it looks right, ECB is sure to be around for at least 10 more years. It is almost certain that additional countries will join Euro zone. Slovakia, Hungary, Check Republic, Poland and others, pending outcome of national referendums and meeting inclusion requirements. Poland will likely have the biggest impact, as it is home to 40 million people and fast growing economy.

 

Following latest officials remarks, there is general belief that ECB will join the ranks of other central banks and start slushing interest rates. That is expected to strengthen the dollar , which is “uncomfortably weak”, and bring down costs of commodities, mainly oil, the biggest single cause for inflation in Euro zone. Once again in line with Bank’s main role.

 

We are sure to be influenced by European Central Bank decisions for many years to come. Happy birthday!
