In order to get some training in after taking a break due to injury, Fabian Cancellara is currently competing in the Tirreno-Adriatico.

The Olympic champion didn't push himself too hard, however, during today's time-trial, and was four minutes behind the winner, Andreas Klöden. Two stages are still to be completed. One thing is certain though: Cancellara will not be able to defend his victory from the previous year.
