168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo) has ruled himself out of riding next month’s Vuelta a Españ🧜;a. The Spaniard crashed out of this year’s Tour de France with a fractured leg, but bounced back within 48 hours to claim that he could race the Vuelta, which starts next month.

He gave himself a forty day window of recovery after it was confirmed that his leg did not needܫ surgery but on Wednesday morning he took to Twitter to annoꦗunce that he would miss the race.

"Bad day, the wound healing gets complicated. I've no date to take the bike. Goodbye to the Vuelta," Con🍷tador said.

The news comes as a hammer blow for the Tinkoff-Saxo team, who although have won♑ two stages🀅 in this year’s Tour de France, were hoping that Contador would regain fitness and challenge for a grand tour.

Michael 🤪Ro𝓡gers won the team's second Tour de France stage in Bagnères-de-Luchon on Tuesday after a solo attack in the closing kilometres.

Bjarne Riis spoke to Cyclingnews at th🌠e finish and said that Contador's recovery would depend on how much longer he spent off the bike.

"It's tough and it's going to be a long process," he told Cyclingnews.

"It's only been a🅺 w𝓀eek and it's going to take another week before we really know how his recovery is going. He had a broken leg after all."

"I think the Vuelta might be possible but it all depends on when he can sit on the bike again, t🍸he pain h'’ll still have and how much training he can do. The fracture isn't a bad one but it's still a fracture.

"He has the base condition and he's a guy who can recovery fast and find top condition quickly. I'm not worried at the moment. If it's another two or three weeks without the bike then it's going to be harder, maybe not to race🌠 but to be in a decent condition."

Contador has not confirmed if he will return to racing th𝐆is s𝄹eason.
