Alberto Contador and dog (source - Alberto Contador on Instagram).PNGVideo: Alberto Contador rides his bike round his home - while being chased by his dog
We love cycling here at road.cc. Well, duh. Less obvious, though is that we love dogs, too. Most of us have at least one. So, while 2017 may be less than a week old, a video of Alberto Contador riding his bike round his home while being chased by his dog is going to be hard to beat as our favourite cycling video come the end of the year.
The Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta winner, who has joined Trek Segafredo from the now defunct Tinkoff team, posted the video to Instagram earlier today.
Given his comment that "This happens when you have a Trek Emonda and you cannot take it out for publicity issues," we're guessing it was filmed before 1 January and the official expiry of his contract with Tinkoff, which of course rode Specialized.
Enjoy.

If it is a halfway decent power meter and a halfway decent chain cleaner and a halfway decent alternative to a bell, i'll get 1.5.

And possibly reclaim the VAT on the way back to the UK? At last - a Brexit benefit!

Well that explains the rash of pot holes - it'll be (immigrant?) leprechauns, digging for gold at the end of all those (Brexit? Woke?) rainbows.

All good then - go for it. Although maybe the reviewer should be including information like that as it's pretty basic stuff.

That can't be his main house...
nice house, nice dog, rubbish video
No helmet. No hi-viz...
His castle his rules?
Already dead then obviously.
Will await Sagan's version of this and wish I had a home big enough to ride around in.
I wish I had a house tidy enough to ride around in.
He'll be chased by a lion
Great video, they both deserve a juicy steak.
Dogs, magpies and bad drivers are my sworn enemies....
Road.cc : "An early candidate for our favourite cycling video of 2017"
Without a doubt, among the most stupid title/comment of Road.cc in 2017 so far !
Wish my wife would let me ride my bike in the house! ;(
