Contador to split with Astana

Alberto Contador, Tour de France 2010, Paris (Photosport Intl)

In an announcement that's as shocking as the one about bears' toilet habits that we've also just been handed, Alberto Contador has announced that he will be leaving Astana in a statement today. He has rejected an offer by the Kazakh outfit to extend his contract, and says he will "calmly explore all possibilities available to him"

The statement issued on the Spaniard's behalf today said: "Alberto Contador has rejected the ultimatum of the Astana team, who had asked for a definitive answer to its offer of a contract renewal for the coming seasons.

He's not staying with the Kazakh outfit, but where will he go?

Altura Aero post pack

Altura Aero Post Pack
Price: 
£49.99

Altura’s Aero Post rack is something of a handful off the bike but with a substantial (3kg) payload, it’s a keenly priced and well-conceived alternative to small panniers for day riding that doesn’t spoil the clean lines or crisp handling of road/audax, cross and racier mountain bikes. However, dimensions mean it's best suited to machines with at least 15cm of exposed seatpost.

Road.cc verdict: 
Nicely designed alternative to panniers for training and day riding
Road.cc rating: 
7
