A recently retired Alberto Contador and former teammate Ivan Basso presented their new Polartec-Kometa Continental team project at the Rouleur Classic in London on Friday.
Riding under the Alberto Contador Foundation banner with Basso as manager and Alberto's older brother Fran Contador as director, the outfit will serve as a develpment squad for Trek-Segafredo.
The younger Contador and Basso unveiled the team's kit on Friday. White and blue with black accents, the jersey sports both title sponsors on the chest and sleeves, with Trek and Segafredo earning a bit of real estate as well.

"We are very motivated with this project, which is another step forward for the Contador Foundation," said Contador, who recently returned from taking a final racing bow at the Shanghai Criterium. "It's a very young team, but we have a lot of confidence in the quality of our riders and the only thing we ask them to do is to work hard to become great professionals."
The team will begin preparing for 2018 in a matter of days, with a first team meeting next week.
"With this first training camp we started the work for next season," Basso said. "We are a new team and we have a lot of work to do, but we are trying to offer our riders the best means to achieve their goals and that is why we try to collaborate with the best, such as the Mapei Sport Center."
