Soooo, Contador has firmed up his agreement with team Kazakaboratvinovelo. HIs new DS’s will be Giuseppe Martinelli and Bontempi. Mmmm, let’s look at Martinelli’s cv: he raced for Jollyceramica, Magniflex, San Giacomo, Santini (I think with Bontempi), Selle San Marco, Alfa Lum, and Alpilatte-Cierre. He has directed teams who’s riders included – Pantani, nabbed for doping, deceased; Garzelli, positive tests, part of the Mapei mafia; Simoni, cocaine positive; Cunego, still going, good rider, no positives. So, the team will most likely be filled out with good, loyal Italians and a few guys from the most glorious country of Kazakhstan. Just in case Contador has not learned to speak Italian or Kazak yet, here’s some footage of a recent race with Spanish subtitles.
