Alberto Contador already has a date to start his Madrid-Milan by Aurum challenge and complete the promise made during the last Giro d’Italia, when he said that “If Eolo wins a stage, I’ll go to Milan by bike”, something that he will have to do after Lorenzo Fortunato’s victory at Monte Zoncolan.
In this way, Contador, who will be accompanied by several of the members of the ‘group’ with which he goes out to shoot, will complete the route between the two cities with 1,600 kilometers of distance and 11,000 meters of positive slope from next September 6, when they will start at 7 in the morning in the Juan Carlos I de Pinto Park.
The first stage of this adventure will consist of more than 300 kilometers and, throughout this challenge, Contador will also be supported on his way to the Duomo of Milan, by Ivan Basso, his partner in the Eolo-Kometa property and the team rider Lorenzo Fortunato, the ‘culprit’ of Contador making this challenge, in the last two stages. . A whole new challenge for Contador, who despite being retired as a professional, does not miss the opportunity to sign up for new challenges on the bike.
