Fabian Cancellara- What an athlete.

I think it's safe to say that Fabian Cancellara is my all-time favorite professional cyclist. It's no secret that he has had an amazing career already, and at only 29 years old, he is sure to be dominating for many years to come. With impressive palmares like 3 Tour de France prologues resulting in a week in the yellow jersey, along with a win in Classics such as the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, and Milan Sanremo. He also is the current world time trial champion, for the third time in his career. While any self-respecting cyclist would be more than happy with any one of these results, Cancellara just keeps getting better and continues to dominate. Take the last 3 weeks for example. Fabian is on the form of his life, and has won a race every week since the beginning of April, beginning with the E3 Prijls, followed by a magnificient win in the Ronde de van Vlaanderen (aka the Tour of Flanders), and most recently, at his most clinical, a crushing domination of a very strong field of riders in last Sunday's "Hell of the North", Paris-Roubaix, winning it for the second time. I can't wait until the meat of the season gets here, with Mr. Fabian Cancellara continuing to awe fans around the globe.
