Inaugural Speech of Red Bull CEO, Mr. Dietrich Mateschitz:
Meine Damen und Herren, I am happy to announce you the creation of this new team that I hope will be very competitive and victorious. Red Bull is a corporation devoted to sport success and this new cycling squad won't be an exception. We achieved four Österreich leagues with soccer team Red Bull Salzburg and two World Championships in F1 with Sebastien Vettel so our main goal for this season will be to promote our team to UCI ProTour.
We've got some problems with the licenses so we cannot register our team in Österreich but we could do it in the United States, thanks to my friend and chairman of the team's co-sponsor, Larry Ellison. Our team will be "american" this year but I promise to my fellow countrymen that next year Red Bull-Oracle Cycling Team will be settled in Fuschl amm See.
I would like to congratulate the two captains of this team, mr. Kern and mr. Velits for accepting our offer. I hope they will efend this jersey with courage and combativeness.
Nothing else, thank you for your patience and enjoy the season!
Inaugural Speech of Oracle CEO, Mr. Larry Ellison:
As Mr. Mateschitz said, this team will be one of the most competitive teams in the Continental Calendar. Oracle showed the world its winning behaviour thanks to our vessels in the Lous Vuitton Cup & America's Cup and now we want to show it on the asphalt. I hope our american riders will represent our values during the season and I promise for them a bonus if they achieve some of the goals we've decided. Bajadali, Candelario, Huff, all our corporation is watching you!
I congratulate the rest of the sponsors that helped us to transform an idea to this promisin project. Thanks to Astor Cosmetics, Liechtensteiner Landsbank, Hilti Group, Trek and TriStar Pictures for their help and confidence. Our guys will not disappoint you, I promise.

The first season will be a little bit of a beta, so there will be no promotion/relegation system yet. So you'll have to aim to promote after season 2

RBO NEWS: Pre-season starts
Working with TREK
Our best Formula One engineers are working side by side with TREK corporation to develop a modern, light and fast bicycle against the clock. Regular seasons is very close and too much things need to be finished.
There's a picture of Milton Keynes factory, UK, where the new F1 car is being developed jointly with an entire legion of TREK bicycles.
The "US navy" started training in Billings, MT
The three american riders of Red Bull-Oracle Team started their preparation yesterday in Billings, Montana, where Oracle stablished the team's HQ (it's important to remember, due to some problems the two corporations had with the licenses, next year the team will be Austrian and not American and Red Bull GmBH transmitted its interest in moving the futur team's HQ to Austrian soil).
"It's a very quiet place, where we can train and breath pure air without problems. First we thought we will be billeted in Redwood City, near Oracle HQ but the manager and the rest of the team preferred to be in another place where we could enjoy tranquility" said Bradley Huff, one of the sprinters RBOT has on its roster.
The rest of the roster will arrive at Billings during the next week.

So Milton Keynes is a town? I always wondered where they got the name MK Dons from 
Good idea to change to an Austrian team, does that mean you're focusing on the tour of Austria this year already?
