After finishing second in the men's 4000m individual pursuit in Manchester Friday, Dominique Cornu will turn his attention to the road scene in 2010. The 24-year-old Belgian parted from Quick Step at the end of the year and will ride for Dutch team Skil-Shimano next year in a bid to earn more responsibility on the road. Cornu, who won bronze in the pursuit at the Worlds in March, will however return to the track for one more race in 2010 when he competes at the next World championships in Copenhagen.
