Schleck not travelling to the US

Team CSC's young superstar Andy Schleck was originally scheduled to join his team-mates at the Commerce Bank Triple Crown series in Pennsylvania this week, but the Luxembourger has instead decided to take a break from his racing schedule and return for the national championships towards the end of June.

"I have been through a lot these past three weeks and I need to calm down a little bit after all this attention," said the 21 year-old Giro runner-up to team-csc.com. "My next assignment will be the national championship and after that I will be going to a training camp in July to build up for the autumn."
