The 32-year-old professional cyclist Alberto Contador will start for the Tinkoff-Saxo team until the end of next year. After speculation about a career end after the 2015 season, the two-time Tour de France winner will now contest two more seasons in the jersey of the team of Russian billionaire Oleg Tinkov.
Alberto Contador has been riding for the Russian cycling team since 2011. Among Contador's greatest successes are the Tour de France victories in 2007 and 2009 and the title at the Giro d'Italia in 2008. The Spaniard won the overall standings of the Vuelta a Espana in 2008, 2012 and 2014. At the Tirreno-Adriatico, which begins today, Contador will be the defending champion.
