Fabian Cancellara - "I'm Back..."

“I’ve demonstrated now, in many time trials and other races, that I’m fast and that I’m also back now. It’s been a hard time to get back to the top of my form and now to have the yellow after a beautiful race is something that I really appreciate.
“It’s amazing to come back from a difficult spring campaign; it was not easy but I fought really hard to get everything that I once had back. I wanted to get fast and to be as strong as possible and now, with the Tour de Suisse win and the yellow jersey – just like two years ago, with the same number, 33 – well, I like that.
“I did my own race. I tried to get everything out of myself. I also had to be careful not to go over the limit on the climb. I had to get what I could from the descent and also be ready for the last five kilometers because that final section looks flat but it was hard stuff.
“My message was already sent in the Tour de Suisse: I’m back and I’m going well. Now today I showed again that it’s all coming together. To be the big favorite and to show everything was true is good but I had to fight like everybody else. I’m happy to be in yellow and I’ll enjoy it for as long as possible.”
