Cancellara to race at world championships

Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara will take part in the cycling road world championships in Australia next week.

The Bern-based cyclist will defend his time trial title and choose a new team for 2011 when he returns.

Cancellara said he had received many offers for next season after parting ways on friendly terms with Bjarne Riis, owner of Team Saxo Bank. He did not however reveal who his future employer would be.

Cancellara has won three world titles since 2006 and gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
