    Default Contador announces that he will be leaving Astana

    Contador's agent has now officially announced that he will not be racing for Astana next year. There is talk of him possibly going to Caisse d'Epargne, Servetto, the new Uzue team, or perhaps even to Riis' team which will be riding under new colors next year, apparently without the Schleck brothers.

    So if he ends up with Riis we could see him perfect his own fingerbang bike-throw?

    I offered him a spot on the team but told him the fingerbang crap had to end. He told me it was his signature and raison d'être so we could come to a deal.

    I un-heart that crap.

    He wants to race with a Spanish team....but the recession is killing the teams in Spain....and none can offer him the money that he is worth. .I think they have leaked just enough information to stir interest and get a bidding war going...

    He's won five (5) Grand Tours. And a bunch of non-Grand Tours. I think he has little to prove to anyone and can pretty much demand whatever he wants. Including a pump peg on his Specialized.

    He's typically quite agressive. Just not so much this year.
