Bjarne Riis

Born on April 3, 1964 (Herning)

licensed at the ACC Contern between 1985 and 1988

Bjarne Riis has only been licensed to ACC Contern for 4 years. But it has been very important years in his career because during this time, he has won some very important races as an amateur, then got a professional contract and finally he integrated the Super U team of Cyril Guimard and Laurent Fignon where his career took a new turn. Bjarne is still in very good terms with the ACC Contern and it is not rare to see him at one of our events.
