Spanish cycling legend Alberto Contador aims for 2017 Tour De France

ALBERTO Contador is determined he won’t retire in 2016 if his new team wins a WorldTour licence.

“There are two options in my head: to keep the idea of retirement that I expressed a year ago, or [ride for] the professional team that we are planning,” said Contador.
