Czech cyclist Kreuziger considering move to Astan team of Alberto Contador

The leading Czech cyclist Roman Kreuziger may leave the Italian team Liquigas and ride for Astan of Kazakhstan next season, the Dutch website Sportdome reported. Kreuziger’s contract with Liquigas ends this year and the Belgian team Omega-Lotto is said to be also interested in signing him up. If the Czech joins Astan, one of his teammates will be Alberto Contador, a two-time winner of the Tour de France. Roman Kreuziger, who is 24, himself finished ninth in the world most prestigious race last season.
