CONTADOR IS SCARY STRONG

Contador was with Saxo Bank-SunGard at the velodrome in Mallorca on Saturday morning to hone his time trial form. The Spaniard’s Danish teammate, Nicki Sørensen, is impressed all-round with the level Contador has shown in his first month with the team.

“I’ve never seen anyone ride as strongly in training as he does. Never. And I’ve been riding for a long time and together with a lot of good cyclists,” he says.

According to Sørensen, no other member of the team can compare with the Spaniard.

“He’s scary strong. In a class above all of us,” said the Dane, meaning that no one shoud fear for Contador’s form, even though the reigning Tour de France winner had to take an involuntary break from cycling because of his clenbuterol case.

“I have no fears about his form. Certainly not. I’ve never seen anything like it. I think it’ll be fun to ride for him in the big races.”
