"In order to clarify some misunderstandings reported in the media, the Astana cycling team management reconfirms that 2009 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador is expected to ride for Team Astana in 2010," the team said.Astana said in the statement that Contador was definitely part of their plans for next year and was going nowhere."Our sponsors are keen to continue with the team at least till the end of 2013," Rinus Wagtmans, spokesman for the Kazakh authorities backing the team, said."It is clear that Alberto Contador will be our absolute leader of the team for next season."We are surprised to read that many other teams have reportedly shown their intention to engage our Tour winner when he remains under contract," he added.
