That's still a big chunk of change, even for the best rider in the world. To sign him for that amount and still have enough for a decent team, some sponsor is going to have to cough up more beans than anticipated. Yet Contador is making a lousy corporate spokesman so far so that may not be sure-fire thing.
Besides, I thought his contract was with Bruyneel, not with Astana?
Can anyone explain what that last part means? I've heard about it before, but I've no idea how that works.
But more to the point, JB will want nothing to do with AC now that he's back with LA again.
Contador ... well, he did make a terrible SIDI ad in which he leered at the camera with a SIDI in hand. He's not a bad looking fellow. With better photography, he might just be a good spokesman in the Spanish market - after the football stars and Nadal, of course.
