Alberto Contador Says Tour de France 'Starts Now' After Giro Win

The 32-year-old Spaniard is attempting to become the first man since Marco Pantani in 1998 to win both races in the same year and ticked off the first leg on Sunday by securing his seventh grand tour title and second at the Giro.
His tilt at the Tour starts in just under five weeks on July 4 in the Dutch city of Utrecht, and Contador conceded he has a lot of recovering to do before then after fatigue triggered a dramatic loss of form on Saturday’s mountainous 20th stage of the Giro.
