Contador wins

ALBERTO Contador laid down a Tour de France marker by storming to victory in yesterday’s opening prologue of the Criterium du Dauphine.

Two-time Tour winner Contador set a stunning time of 11 minutes 36 seconds in the 3.9km uphill time-trial to win by six seconds from Australian Richie Porte. But perhaps more importantly, the 33-year-old Spaniard beat reigning Tour champion Chris Froome into third by 13 seconds. Contador had said he was more interested in improving his physical condition than eyeing overall victory.
