Schleck ready for Giro

Andy Schleck did well enough in the Tour de Romandie's closing time trial to move up to eighth place overall, much to the delight of his Team CSC Directeur Sportif Scott Sunderland.

"Andy did really well in the time trial and reaffirmed that he is well and truly ready for the Giro d'Italia," Sunderland said on the team's website, team-csc.com. "He gave us a great finish to what has been a great race for us. We've made our mark here with a nice result in the team competition and several brilliant attempts, where especially Chris Anker Sørensen did well."
