He will go at a Spanish team if he has/wants to leave Bruyneel's team. And who seems to be the best choice?

or the team that gives him the most money, and the guarantee of being the leader, and having good teammates.

yeah, of course, that's what I was thinking about, but teams like Katusha also have money to give, so...
But Caisse is of course the best bet, even though I think Contador will stay with Bruyneel 'til the end of the year

Contador to Euskatel i think Euskatel needs a GC rider they have a strong base in the mountains with Astorlazo igo anton and verdugo, Caisse is plagued with postive drugs tests in the past it would be a bad choice for Contador, he will leave anyway becasue i reckon Astana wont be allowed entry to the tour becasue of there paying problems. |

There's no chance to see Contador at Euskaltel: he is not Basque and they have only Basque riders.

No, they only have riders that did their "cycling education" in basque youth teams.
If you're basque and didn't ride for basque youth teams, you're not a "baque cyclist" so they don't want you.

Contador to Caisse - in my opinion, that's what's most likely to happen. With Valverde suspended, they have the needed money, plus Contador can be 100 % sure that he's their leader - unlike at Astana. |

Also didn't Caisse want to sign Contador when Lance announced his comeback?

For the second time in this Giro, Cunego explains the fact that he couldn't follow on the climbs with the sentence "I've learned at my expense that certain people's performances are suspicious".
Yes Cunego, you can't follow because you're riding clean. We get it. It was obvious last summer at the Tour. Now shut up and suck it up.

Well, if he's riding clean now then that's a good thing
There's however no need of "accusing" others as an excuse for his own performances, as it's rather obvious he's not in the same form now as he was in March/April (not saying he would be anywhere near the top, but he should at least manage to keep up with Gustov, Wegelius, Wiggins, Serpa (Hagen) etc. on the climbs). |

In previous years, he would've done immensely better in the classics of April.
