Even his competitors admit it… The Spaniard cyclist is still on the
spot for the doping case that might cost him his recent Tour de France
title. While he is still trying to prove his innocence other major
athletes declare that he is a motive for them in order to improve their
performance.
Just a few days ago Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) said that he
hopes Alberto Contador is present at the 2011 Tour de France.
Sanchez was at the pick during last years’ Tour and he missed a place at
the pondium last minute when Denis Menchov conquered third place.If
Contador proves to be guilty and be punished then Sanchez will move up
third. Tour de France is Sanchez bet for 2011. “The Tour is the best
race in the world, it’s like nothing else,” Sanchez said. Sanchez also
refused to rule out the possibility of riding the Vuelta a Espa?a,
although he explained that any participation would be contingent on the
state of his form after the Tour.
