Fabian Cancellera otherwise known as spartacus is known as the fastest man in the world when it comes to time trialling. He has a world record of 8 olympic medals for cycling. Added to that he has another world record of 4 gold medals in World Championships of Cycling. Every individual time trial he is in he beats every other competitor by anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. Cancellera is from Switzerland. He was on Saxo Bank with the Schleck for as long as i can remembered. In September of this year Cancellera met with the Saxo Bank boss to discuss his future. They ended up cutting Fabians contract short by one year. For a month or two there was a lot of confusion on what team Cancellera would ride for in the 2011 season? There were several rumors that he would ride for a Australia team or even a Switzerland team. I would say about a month ago or so, Cancellera said in a press conference that he would ride for the unnamed Luxembourg based team. He would ride with the Schleck brothers for the next two years. This was a huge shock for me well not really i believe most people knew that he would sign with them. Anyway I am getting off of track let me explain how Cancellera is known as Spartacus. He is known as Spartacus because of his speed it all started off when Paul Sherwen and Bob Roll called him that a few years ago in a individual time trial. Another unbelievable theory is that Cancellera rides with a motor on the back of his bike and that what makes him so fast. However its more of like a joke and not a actual theory.
Cancellera looks at the size of his legs there
like tree trunks.......
