Albasini seems to be the best Swiss puncheur at the moment put can he hold on in front of Cancellara’s power? The defending champion, David Vitoria might also interfere in the podium battle
At the end of the 5th lap, Cancellara accelerated in his characteristic style and got away from the pack
Few laps later, Merabito put in a very good attack. Rast and Albasini tried to follow him but it seemed to be too late for them as Cancellara was already 4 minutes in front
Cancellara had no problems keeping his advantage and entered the last lap of the race in a confident lead
Fabian Canellara is the Swiss Champion! Merabito took the second place, while Rast beat Albasini, who was the main favorite on paper, in the sprint for the third place
Schar came with a pretty good time, which put him in the provisional lead for quite a long time
But the big favorite of the day, Fabian Cancellara had no problems beating his time. The former World Champion beat the Rabobank rider’s time with more than 2 minutes and retained his title. This means that Cancellara got the double this year, winning both the RR and the TT
