Contador skips road race

Two-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador will not compete in the world road race championships later this month, he said on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old ­— speaking during the rest day in the Tour of Spain which he leads — said the course in Ponferrada in the northeast of Spain was not suited to his strengths. “The world championship course is not in any way suited to my style and I think other riders who will be able to help (the Spanish team) more should go.” The race on September 28 is a 254-kilometer ride which will see the riders complete 14 laps of 18.2km.
