SPAIN'S Alberto Contador said yesterday all seven of his major cycling Tour wins still count as far as he's concerned, despite being stripped of two titles along with receiving a two-year doping ban.
Contador, the 29-year-old Saxo Bank rider who won his second Tour of Spain on Sunday in a fairytale comeback from his hotly disputed drugs suspension, raised seven fingers on the winner's podium. Asked why he made the gesture, Contador said: "Seven, that's how many Tours I feel I have won. What's written down on paper could be one thing or another. But in the end what counts is your own feeling, and the memory that remains imprinted on the retinas of the fans. What's on paper is secondary."
