The Astana team held today the hardest training of its stage in Calpe, after spending Sunday on a day of rest. Contador and his team mates made a six and a half hours session (210 km) along the rugged terrain of the interior of Alicante, which included several climbs like the well known Finestrat.

Under the watchful eye of Giuseppe Martinelli, that follow every day practice of their riders, Astana team did a tough program where Contador, with Tiralongo, Dani Navarro and Vinokourov proved to be a little above of the rest of team mates when the road was harder.

Tomorrow, Wednesday January 20th, is scheduled a Press Conference with Alberto Contador at 16:00 pm in the Diamante Beach Hotel (Avenida Juan Carlos I, Calpe), where also will be available to the media other team members. Photographers and television channels may wish to record the morning workout, which will begin at 10 am.
