For the book

Fabian Cancellara won the Tour of Catalonia's time trial first stage on Monday. Winner in the 2004 Tour de France prologue, the Swiss rider's biggest win this year was the Paris-Roubaix Classic in April. "Paris-Roubaix was the last time I raced, so this win is a real surprise for me," Cancellara said.
