Cancellara says Contador signing prompted Saxo Bank departure

The signing of Alberto Contador was the main reason behind Fabian Cancellara's decision to leave Team Saxo Bank, as he felt that the focus of the team would shift away from him. The Swiss rider has yet to announce where he will ride in 2011, but it is assumed that he will join the Schleck brothers at the Luxembourg Pro Cycling Project, where he will concentrate on different spring classics.
