Fabian Cancellara (CSC) confirmed he is the best prologue specialist in the world by storming to victory in the grounds of Stanford University at the Tour of California.
The current world time trial champion blasted round the flat and fast course stopping the clock with a time of 3:51.211 at an average speed of 51.428km/h. Bradley Wiggins (High Road) was second fastest but was four seconds off the pace in a time of 3:55.980. Wiggins was disappointed with his performance, admitting he did not time his effort to perfection.
