Astana's Alberto Contador has addressed the weight of expectation placed upon him as he continues his 2009 campaign. Following a win in his first outing, the Volta ao Algarve last month, the young Spaniard has a one from one record thus far this season, and already the number of voices are growing in support of his chances for more wins in the year's big events.
Speaking during a Sports Gala evening, Contador told reporters, "I know that much is expected of me, everyone has great confidence in my chances, but people must understand that cannot everything always win or be the fastest."
