Alberto Contador signs two year deal with Astana

Alberto Contador - Astana

Alberto Contador remains with Astana, according to Eddy Merckx. “He has signed a contract for two additional seasons, knew the” Greatest of All Times’, reporting on the Gerrit Plieger Cycle Show in the Dutch Meerkerk. Contador will recieve over € 4.000.000 for his deal with the Kazakh formation. Quick.Step, Garmin, Caisse d’Epargne and Sky where not able to sign a deal with Alberto Contador.

Last stumbling block remains the Astana ProTour license, which the International Cycling Union (UCI) decides on Friday. By then all the administrative and financial criteria are met. But according  to Contador’s teammate Alexandre Vinokourov this could not be a problem.

“My main goal for 2010 is the Giro, says “Vino”. In the Tour we put everything on Alberto. Astana will ride with “Specialized” (the name of the company) bikes next season, which is also the sponsor of Quick.Step and Saxo Bank.
