Video: Haussler heads to Vuelta looking for stage wins

Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Cervelo) will line up at the Vuelta a España later this month with the dual aims of wining a stage and building his form for 2012. It has been a difficult couple of years for the 27-year-old Australian. In 2009 he finished second in Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders, before winning a stage in the Tour de France. He seemed destined for greatness but a run of injuries and crashes wrecked his 2010 season and this year he has struggled to regain full fitness.
