Bringing together two cycling legends of this magnitude, who have been the stars of a historic rivalry, to have them face off and offer any fan the opportunity to ride alongside them, is something unique. »
For Alberto Contador it is also a very special moment: " The battles against Chris have always been very tough. What surprised me the most were his final attacks, after a lot of hard work from Sky. I'm glad we meet again, this time at BKOOL. "
Chris Froome commented: “ It’s great to start the off-season training with a friendly competition on BKOOL, and even better with my old rival Alberto Contador! We recently met in Miami and he still looks in great shape, so I have no doubt he won’t have an easy time with me. »
Just days after Froome announced that this would be his final active season, he is now dancing with the man who, in his own words, was his toughest rival. Two of the greatest cyclists of all time go head-to-head at BKOOL, reliving a rivalry that defined his era.
