The bromance between Matt and Alberto continues as despite huge pressure from both expectant cycling fans and a team owner desperate for glory, Alberto finds time to chat before he heads out for his final training session.
Alberto explains his motivation behind attempting to win both the Giro and the Tour de France in the same season, a feat not achieved for 17 years and one many think is now impossible.
But, aside from taking the risk, Contador has reasons to be confident. Not only is he in incredible form, but he's also the best stage race rider of his generation, and so it's all to play for over the next 3 weeks.
