“After the stroke, for me winning that queen stage in the Tour Down Under in Australia was more important than winning a Tour de France”

Alberto Contador was the protagonist of one of Cadena Ser’s ‘Ser Ciclista’ podcasts. The Madrid-born cyclist reviewed his sporting career, his life’s adventures and some of the aspects of the work of the Foundation that bears his name. “If I have to choose one moment, I would choose 2005.
