Team CSC's Fränk Schleck finished second after a very solid effort in Sunday's Züri Metzgete and earned the praise of his sports director. "Fränk was fantastic and fought his way to a brilliant result," said Kim Andersen on team-csc.com. "He really showed class out there - both physically and mentally with his excellent sense of tactics. He didn't give in, and it took a lot of effort to prevent the pursuers from catching up. The result is yet another solid testimony to Fränk's enormous potential, and with his performance today we've every reason to think he's capable of winning one of the big classics."
