Contador to end season at Clásica San Sebastián
After several demanding months, Alberto Contador will bring his 2015 season to an early close on Saturday at the Clásica San Sebastián.
The Spaniard won the Giro d’Italia in May but fell short of his goal of becoming the first man since 1998 to do the Giro-Tour de France double after finishing fifth in France.

While the riders he clashed with in July, including Chris Froome, Vincenzo Nibali, Nairo Quintana, and Alejandro Valverde have all been linked with an appearance at the Vuelta a España, Contador has no desire to do another Grand Tour. His season revolved entirely around the Giro-Tour double and now that’s in the past, he’s already thinking about 2016, when it is believed he will focus solely on the Tour and then the Olympic Games.
Saturday’s Clásica, a one-day WorldTour race in the Basque Country of Spain, looks set to be the 32-year-old’s final proper competitive outing on the bike in 2015.
“It has been a couple of years since I last did it and I want to close the year at this race before taking my holidays,” said Contador, according to AS. “The period of rest starts now, and after the Clásica I will progressively wind down on the bike.”
