Sylvain Chavanel returned to training today after four days off the bike, because of the bronchitis that forced him to pull out from the Tour de France.
"Today I trained for three hours without forcing my effort," Chavanel said. "The feeling was good and now I'm more optimistic for the upcoming races. I will be ready for the Olympics on the road, and even for the TT. The TT is an objective. I really would like to do well in that race."
