Contador gets a taste of honey

CHAMPION cyclist Alberto Contador has been awarded the peculiar honor of receiving his weight in honey, a delicacy of the Spanish town of Penalver.

Contador, along with his bike, were weighed on a scale set up in the town square on Saturday. The total was multiplied by six for the Spanish rider's major stage wins (three at the Tour de France, two at the Giro d'Italia, and one at the Spanish Vuelta) for a total of 130kg of honey.
