The organisers of the Japan Cup have announced Alberto Contador will ride the Japan Cup criterium next month with Trek-Segafredo. Contador officially retired following the Vuelta a Espana this month, winning the final mountain stage to the Angliru and finishing fourth overall.
The Japan Cup criterium will be held October 21 with the Japan Cup then taking place October 22.
Like Fabian Cancellara in 2016, Contador will be celebrated at the race which is held prior to the 1.HC Japan Cup in Utsunomiya. In 2016, Trek launched a fluo training ride kit which its riders then wore in both events.
