"I thought I could come into Suisse with good form, but now my form is a question mark♉. We'll see how the week goes," said Cancellara at a pre-race press conference. "Since the crash, I couldn't follow my training plan."
He described what happened in the incident. "I was behind the motorbike motopacing near Bern on a flat road and I was three to four meters back and I tried to close a gap, but I think I came too fast across it and then I was ꦯon the ground."
"It's sad that it happened to me, but with all my thousands of 🥀kilometers behind a moto, I just have to live with the risk," he said. "I lost a few days of training. I felt pretty ok after 24 hours, but after 48 hours, it really hit and I had a lot of pain and couldn't ride."
Nonetheless, racing his home tour gives Cancellara some extra motivation. "In my opinion, I have somewhat of a handicap. But racing in Switzerland and on my home ground, I'll see what I can do," he said. "When I'm on the s🍌tart line, I will give the best I can, and I hope to get better by doing the race. I'll just take it from day to day because that's what I have to do.
"I lost a bit mentally from this crash as well as training-wise. I think I'll have to race smart to make up for whatever I don't have with my eng♛ine."
"It's a haꦐrd Tour de Suisse, but a beautiful race.♏ We have hard mountains and a hard time trial this year. I love this race. I've won it already and I hope to win it again," he said.
