Trek-Segafredo interested in Contador
Trek-Segafredo is looking to sign Alberto Contador, according to Spanish website Biciciclismo. The team is looking to secure his services as a general classification contender but Trek is also keen to have him as a brand ambassador, with Fabian Cancellara set to retire at the end of the season.
Contador had mulled over the idea of retirement this year but has said that he could race for as many as two more seasons. With Oleg Tinkov pulling his funding after this year, Contador must look elsewhere for a ride in 2017. He has speculated that he may create his own team to do this but the multiple Grand Tour winner has also courted the interest of several WorldTour teams.

Lampre-Merida has already indicated their desire to have the Spaniard on-board and Trek-Segafredo had already been named as a potential destination for Contador. The American-registered team has been on the hunt for a new star rider for next season. They had been in talks with Vincenzo Nibali but those fell apart over the spring, with the newly crowned Giro d’Italia champion looking certain to go to the new Bahrain Cycling Team.
