"I am very excited. I want to have the best bike. It is very important to have the best if you want to win the Tour de France. This is why I made it a requirement to have Specialized as the team bike for my return to Astana.”
—Alberto Contador. Specialized takes over as the complete bike sponsor for Team Astana. Zipp has also signed on to outfit Astana riders with its wheels, while SRAM Red will still be the componentry of choice for the team.
