After an injury-hit year, Dan Fleeman is hoping to rescue his season with his final two races of 2009. The Cervélo TestTeam rider broke his wrist in May when competing at the Bayern Rundfahrt and was forced to spend three months away from racing. A comeback in August had given him a chance to find his form, but with just the Giro del Piemonte and Giro di Lombardia left on his schedule, and his one-year contract coming to an end, the 27-year-old knows it's time to perform.
