Contador has the crucial edge: Yates (Reuters)
By Julien Pretot UTRECHT, Netherlands (Reuters) – Sean Yates knows a thing or two about leading a rider to the Tour de France title and the Briton feels his protege Alberto Contador has the required experience to prevail in a demanding race this year. Yates, who guided Bradley Wiggins to his Tour triumph in 2012, left the sport that year but he is now Contador’s sports director at Tinkoff-Saxo. The Englishman believes Contador has what the other big favorite do not have — experience he can take confidence from.
