Cycling: Contador signs new one-year deal with Tinkoff-Saxo (Reuters)

Twice Tour de France champion Alberto Contador has signed a new one-year contract that will keep him at the Tinkoff-Saxo team until the end of next season. “Alberto Contador is undoubtedly one of the world’s best stage racers and a legend in his lifetime.” Last month the Spanish cyclist indicated that next season could be his last as a professional. “It is true that it was important for 2016 to have these guarantees and for that reason I am very happy to have closed the deal.” Team manager Bjarne Riis said it was the best decision Contador could have made.
