Test Conconi?

For the 1996 season, Riis switched to the Telekom team. Here he experienced the greatest triumph of his career, as he won the 1996 Tour de France, the greatest single achievement in Danish cycling. The week before the Tour de France, he had won the Danish Road Racing Championship, enabling him to win the Tour in the national tricot. The win was instrumental in turning then Telekom (now T-Mobile Team) from a small team (which had struggled to get an invitation to the Tour in 1995 and only managed to send half a team) into one of the biggest teams in road racing. It also had a huge positive effect on the development of cycling in Denmark - both in terms of participation and in spectator interest.
