Oleg Tinkov, the owner of Tinkoff-Saxo, has hinted that this may be the final year in Alberto Contador’s career. 

Tinkov told Cyclingnews he wants the 32 year old from Spain to re-sign for at least one more year but that he would leave the decision totally up to Contador.

“It’s his decision. If he wants to continue then we’ll be more than happy to have him with our team but I don’t know if he’s decided to continue. We’ve not discussed it yet. This might be his last season, I don’t know. It could be,’ Tinkov told Cyclingnews.
 

“It’s totally his decision. I know that he will finish in our team, this year or next year. Maybe he’ll win the double and decide to stop. I don’t know and I will not push him.”

Tinkov echoed what team manager Bjarne Riis had to say to Cyclingnews, when Riis said Contador would be crazy to stop when he is as good as he is just now.

“He’s the strongest cyclist of his generation and he could be strong for another two or three years,” Tinkov said.
