Cancellara wins Tour de France prologue
Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara has claimed his third career Tour de France prologue, with a win in Rotterdam.
Lance Armstrong came home 22 seconds behind Cancellara in fourth place.
Second place was taken by Tony Martin and third by David Millar.
The flat and straight profile of the 8.9km route was well suited to the master time trialler Cancellara, the world and Olympic champion.
Cancellara, who rides for the Saxo Bank team, had earlier shrugged off allegations that he might have used an engine-powered bike in one-day classics earlier this year.
