As a UCI WorldTeam, they were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad to every event in the UCI World Tour. In March 2015 the team confirmed that Riis had been removed from active duty due to differences between Riis and Tinkov. Media reports had initially indicated that Riis had been suspended when he did not appear at Milan–San Remo as planned, and that this was due to a disappointing start to the season for the team.http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tinkoff-saxo-confirm-riis-suspension Tinkoff-Saxo confirm Riis suspension 24 March 2015 cyclingnews.com 24 March 2015 On 29 March, it was announced that Riis had been released by the team.
