Alberto Contador wins stage 5 of Tirreno-Adriatico 2014 and takes overall race lead.

Alberto Contador wins stage 4 of this year's Tirreno-Adriatico ahead of Nairo Quintana and Daniel Moreno; Michal Kwiatkowski remains overall race leader.

Team Tinkoff-Saxo's Alberto Contador showed true determinism in today’s stage 4 of the 2014 Volta ao Algarve. Being in second position in the overall rankings before today's stage, with a time gap of 32 seconds to the leading rider Michael Kwiatkowski (Omega-Pharma-QuickStep), Contador's recipe for success was called "attack."

Riis-owned company Riis Cycling A/S, which runs WorldTour Team Saxo-Tinkoff, has been bought by Tinkoff. Tinkoff's bank ended its sponsorship of Team Saxo-Tinkoff at the conclusion of the 2013 season citing conflicts between Tinkoff and team captain Alberto Contador who delivered substandard performances in 2013.
