“It was a day a little moved, with rain, wind and some cold. There's been all, but my feelings were good”, said Alberto Contador at the conclusion of the first day of the Volta ao Algarve, in his season debut. Alberto finished sixteenth, 5 seconds behind the winner, Vaugrenard (Française), which crossed the line slightly leading ahead of Horrach (3") and Greipel (4"), times that were added to bonuses (10, 6 and 4 seconds).

“I'm very happy with the team”, also wanted to highlight. “My teammates have worked to perfection, though it was only a transitional stage, pending what happens in the coming days”. Despite which, in the last kilometers could also be seen alone in front of the pack. Alberto attacked on the last climb and was a few meters ahead. “The important thing today was how were my legs, and my feeling was good”, he said thinking on Friday, with a climb final and important first step, before last day’s time trial.

In the Volta ao Algarve, on the other hand, Alberto Contador will offer via Twitter his impressions both in and out of the race. “From now those who wish follow me and read my comments may do so through my profile, @albertocontador” says the leader of Astana, thus adding this option of direct communication with the already known www.albertocontador.com page and the new team's official site, www.astana.lu, which is launching now.
