The Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador announced today that he will participate in the Vuelta in Spain, after recovering from the injury he suffered in the Tour d'France.
On July 15, the two-time winner of the Vuelta broke his lower leg when he fell in the 10th stage of the Tour. He then stated that he would have a hard time recovering before the start of the race in Spain, which starts on August 23.
However, the driver of the Tinkof Sakso team said today that he has been training for 10 days and that he does not feel pain in his leg, but that he will not be in the competition for victory.
"Maybe in the last week of the race I will be able to fight for the stage win," said Contador.
