Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) will continue his fight back to fitness at the Vuelta a Burgos in Spain, starting on Tuesday, August 2.
Contador withdrew from the Tour de France having suffered from crash injuries and illness. The Spaniard has refocussed his season after his Tour injuries also ruled him out of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games road race on Saturday. He is now aiming for success at the Vuelta a España at the end of August.
