With Fabian Cancellara not participating,...

I thought he said on Monday he was looking forward to it? Why didn't he go?

Considering the main reward for winning the national tt is that you get to wear the jersey during time trials. Cancellara is already the world champion so will have to wear that during the time trialls instead.

I know thats only till october but has he even done a time trial since he last won the wc? i count 2, during the tds, so his main tt period - tdf and then wc, is still ahead of him and hell be wearing the world jersey anyway.

He already didn't go last year for the national ITT, focuses again on road race.

Tour of Oman, and Tour of California. Won neither of them.

Also Tour de Suisse 2010 - won stage 1, 2nd in the last stage to Tony Martin

He put in two pretty impressive time trials at Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.

 

[SpartacusRox]

Tour of Oman, and Tour of California. Won neither of them.

Both meaningless, one early season and the other after a massive classics focus.

If he decides to do the world TT champs it will be Spartacus first and daylight second just like other years!

yeah!!

 

[Nicoper]

I think he rode last year and was second. Right?

He will win WC again so there is no real need to ride for NC jersey when he wont wear it. Plus, his palmares are "good" for this year.
So far this year no one had greater average speed on ITT to that of Cancellara at worlds ITT last year.

Rumor has it Cancellara planned to do the Swiss TT, but the stupid Gerlach motor wouldn't start.

I heard it wouldn't stop, and he totally overshot Switzerland.

He did apparently win the Austrian, German, Polish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Russian, and Azerbaijani time trials though.
