15-Apr-2010 – Luzern: Cervélo TestTeam rider Heinrich Haussler is back on his bike, since last week, after injuring his quadriceps tendon. “I’ve felt well the entire week and have had no pain on the bike. I’m happy and looking confidently into the future where races will soon be back on my schedule,” said Heinrich Haussler.

Haussler’s recovery plan, after resting at home will include a high altitude training camp in Colorado from April 16 to May 13. Then, if the medical team gives the green light, Haussler will make his racing comeback at the Tour of California (May 16 to 23). Following that he will use Cervélo TestTeam’s home race, the Tour de Swiss (June 12 to 20) to complete preparations for this year’s Tour de France edition.

“We are very pleased that Heinrich is already back on the bike and feeling well,” said Joop Alberda, Cervélo TestTeam, General Manager. “The health of an athlete always has priority and we did not want Heinrich to come back too early. Now, everything is looking fine and our medical team is satisfied. We are looking forward to having Heinrich at the start line again.”
