Alberto Contador admitted that winning the Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double will be “very difficult” because he can still feel the effects of the Italian race and the fatigue from the huge amount of climbing in his legs. However he is confident that he will quickly get into his “Tour rhythm” once the racing begins.
