ALBERTO CONTADOR VELASCO


Cycling superstar Alberto Contador Velsaco descended on the fields of France last July, gaining the ultimate triumph in his sport aged just 24. A miracle boy in a miracle season, Contador became the fifth Spaniard in history to win the Tour de France.

Since surviving a cerebral cavernoma in 2004, Alberto Contador's character, discipline, and brilliant performance are widely viewed as the future of cycling.
