Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) was feted as the 2015 Giro d’Italia winner but it is clear he plans to watch next year’s Corsa Rosa on television while training for the Tour de France.
2016 is almost certainly Contador’s last season at WorldTour level and perhaps his last year of racing. He intends to target a third victory at the Tour de France and a fourth victory at home in the Vuelta a Espana.
“The Giro is always special for me. It’s the most beautiful race in the world. But next year it’ll be good to watch the Giro on television… “ Contador joked in his slowly improving English, perhaps remembering how much he suffered to win this year’s race.

“It will actually be hard to watch it on television, but I want to go to the Tour with a guarantee of doing well and so I think it’s better if I don’t do the Giro,” he said.
Contador had to sit through the drawn out route presentation and even though he will not ride, he quickly analysed the route.
“It’ll be a tough race, it’s always a hard race and will be especially so with three time trials and also with high mountains. With the weather in May, they’re always hard stages,” he explained.
