Alberto Contador's Vuelta-winning bike up for auction
You have until Sunday to bid for Alberto Contador's Vuelta a España-winning Specialized S-Works Tarmac
Fancy riding Alberto Contador’s Vuelta a España bike? Specialized and Tinkoff-Saxo have teamed up to auction off the S-Works Tarmac that El Pistolero rode to victory in Spain in September.
Bike manufacturers Specialized will donate all of the money raised in the auction to the Matonyok Parents Trust Orphanage, which Tinkoff-Saxo visited on their trip to Tanzania.
Bids started at €3,000, although at the time of writing the leading bid stood at €8,800 – and that will almost certainly go up before the auction closes on Sunday.
Visit www.tinkoffsaxo.com/auction to place your bid before 8pm CET, Sunday.
