Contador wins Critérium du Dauphiné prologue TT on the Kéo Blade.

Alberto Contador of Astana showed a flash of his excellent form by the Critérium du Dauphiné by winning the 6km prologue around Evian-les-Bains.

"I don’t always win and my form is not as good now as it is usually in July. I had a good race today," Contador said.  "The downhill was pretty technical. This is my first competition since I took a break after Liège-Bastogne-Liège. I’m here to prepare for the Tour, it remains my main goal this week. Tomorrow, I’ll be happy to give the yellow jersey to another rider. I’ll ride more cautiously than at the Tour de France in three weeks time from now."
