Spain's Alberto Contador of the Saxo Bank team secured his second Tour of Italy title on Sunday, after Scot David Millar of Garmin won the final stage time trial in Milan, but promptly voiced doubts on his plans for the Tour de France.

The 28-year-old, who came into the Giro in the shadow of a doping controversy regarding last year's Tour de France, dominated the event, spending the bulk of the 94th edition in the leader's pink jersey.

Although Millar took the plaudits with his swashbuckling showing in the 26km final stage, the headlines will belong to Contador, should he now normally seek to use the win as a springboard to a fourth Tour de France triumph.

But barely had he stepped off the podium than the Iberian was suggesting things weren't as simple as that as he refused to confirm whether or not he would even show up.
