Gerdemann on the bike again

Linus Gerdemann of Team High Road is riding again, but not even starting to think about racing yet. The 25 year-old suffered two broken bones and torn knee ligaments when he crashed in the time trial of Tirenno-Adriatico.

The winner of a stage in the 2007 Tour de France wore yellow jersey for one day, but now feels that his chances of starting this year's Tour are small. "More realistic is certainly a start in the Olympic Games in Beijing," he told dpa.
