Fabian Cancellara Time Trail World Champion - Gustav Larsson in second place!

On the circular route of 16, 6 kilometers in Mendrisio, Switzerland, Team Saxo Bank home favorite, Fabian Cancellara demonstrated his indomitable winner instinct and not least his frantic pace abilities when he crushed all competition during Thursday's 49, 8 kilometers. He crossed the line taking back his title from 2006 and 2007 in an epic demonstration of style and strength.

The strong Swiss shot through the streets of Mendrisio with an average speed of nearly 52 km/h cutting off every inch possible and majestically lifting his arms from the handlebars crossing the finish line 1.27 minutes faster than his teammate on second place.

Team Saxo Bank's Swede, Gustav Larsson did an outstanding contre le montre as he conquered the silver medal by trying to keep up with his Swiss teammate after being caught on the course.
