Fabian Cancellara in action during Stage 5 of the 2015 Tour des Fjords from Daryl Impey
Having only recently made his comeback at the Tour de Fjords last month after suffering from cracked vertebrae in a crash at E3 Harelbeke, Fabian Cancellara's season looks to have taken another hit as Trek Factory Racing report that their star rider has been laid-off with illness.
It means Cancellara will miss his home race GP Kanton Aargau-Gippingen on Thursday, the one-day race that has traditionally acted as a warm-up for the Tour de Suisse.
