It will be well protected to prevent the lot from suffering any damage. Alberto Contador is a Spanish former cyclist. In his career he competed for the teams ONCE/Liberty Seguros, Discovery Channel, Astana, Saxo Bank Sungard/Tinkoff and Trek-Segafredo, turning professional from 2003 to 2017. He is currently a sports commentator on Eurosport. Labeled a legend, he is considered one of the great all-rounders in the history of cycling, as one of the best Spanish cyclists and one of the greatest athletes in the country’s history. He stood out as a climber, his specialty, and as a time trialist, a discipline in which, without being a specialist, he showed he could hold his own fairly well, recording 9 stage wins, a fourth place in the 2008 Beijing Olympic time trial, and the 2009 National Road Time Trial Championship. In his palmarès, Contador has a total of 69 professional victories; he is also the winner of the UCI World Ranking 2009. Among his most important victories are 7 Grand Tours (Giro d'Italia 2008 and 2015, Tour de France 2007 and 2009, and Vuelta a España 2008, 2012 and 2014) and 9 stage wins in these races (3 stages in the Tour de France and 6 stages in the Vuelta a España), Paris-Nice 2007 and 2010, the Vuelta al País Vasco 2008, 2009, 2014 and 2016, and Tirreno–Adriatico 2014. He is the first Spanish rider to win all three Grand Tours, a feat achieved only by Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault, Italians Felice Gimondi and Vincenzo Nibali, Belgian Eddy Merckx, and British Chris Froome. He is also the third rider in history to win the Giro-Vuelta double, behind Belgian Eddy Merckx in 1973 and Italian Giovanni Battaglin in 1981. In 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2014 he was honored with the Golden Bicycle as the best cyclist of the year.
