Two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador gave a glimpse of his
form a month before this year's race by winning the opening prologue of
the Dauphine Criterium on Sunday. The 27-year-old Astana rider powered
his way over the rolling 6.8-kilometer course in a time of 8:34 to beat
American Tejay Van Garderen of HTC-Columbia by 2-seconds.
