Contador leaves Astana
So Alberto Contador leaves Astana. And our commentator on Eurosport Russia was so sure he will stay, he was talking about it during all the stages. There we go. Russian speaking Asatana fans are very dissapointed.
Some possible scenarios:
- Contador to Quickstep. They were interested in him a year ago. Of course, everybody is interested in him, but maybe Quickstep has (or had) enough money?
- Contador to Caisse Depargne. Or how the team will name? Did they found a new sponsor? Anyway, why not? Spanish team, plus Velverde is suspended...
- Contador to Uncle Bjarne. Seems like Danish media are sure he will go this way. But Riis is mute, he still has the Schlecks. It's sad, he definitely love them more then just good riders. Or maybe now it's more like love/hate relationships.
honestly I don't want Schlecks to leave. I'm not sure that new team will be better then Saxo, at least at first. And without a good team Andy nor Frank won't win the Tour. There are so many superb helpers-leaders as Fabian, Stuey, Jens... And... So many aspects.
- Contador to his own team. What? There were the rumours a while ago. If it happens I'm sure it will be only for Spanish riders.

Also Italian ds Martinelli,about 10 days ago,was sure that Contador was going to stay with Astana.Then,the other day,he found out that the Spaniard was leaving.It must have been a horrible surprise for him!
According to la Gazzetta,next year Specialized will sign a contract just with Riis' team. Contador wants to keep on riding Specialized bikes (they give him a lot of money) and Specialized doesn't want to lose Alberto,so it seems that Specialized' chief is helping Bjarne in his attempt of signing a contract with the Spaniard.
I'm not happy with the Schleck's new team either.Actually,I'm still a bit confused by this story,since I can't actually understand why they're leaving Riis.Perhaps we supporters will be able to understand more things later in the year (I really do hope so!).
Well, let's wait and see, but right now leaving Riis (who now has enough money + good helpers) for an abstruct Luxembourgish team seems like a bad isea...
