World Time Trial Champion Fabian Cancellara once again proved that he is the best, winning the 2.4 km prologue in the Tour de Luxembourg by five seconds over the second-place finisher, Jimmy Engoulvent from Crédit Agricole. The Swiss CSC rider only needed 3'38" to cover the largely cobbled route, with a steep climb near the end.
"My arms hurt more than my legs right now, cause it was such a short and steep prologue, you had to push with your whole body in order to go fast. It's 20 minutes since I crossed the line and my arms are still burning," Cancellara said Wednesday night.
