In the weekend, Trek manager Luca Guercilena said that he and Fabian Cancellara would discuss the planned hour record attempt at the team's gathering in Belgium this week. In an interview with Sporza, the Swiss classics star confirms that the record is on his list of objectives but refuses to commit himself to making an attempt in 2014.

It has long been rumoured that Fabian Cancellara intends to make an hour record attempt in the near future and in the weekend, the discussion got new life when Trek manager Luca Guercilena revealed that the Swiss and his team would discuss the details at their gathering in Belgium this week. Guercilena suggested that the attempt was likely to take place in 2014 but the exact time was still not planned.

Interviewed by Sporza, Cancellara confirms that the hour record is on the list of future objectives but he won't promise to make an attempt already in 2014. he claims that the level of planning makes an attempt a complicated affair.

"Of course it is in my head," he said. "But I don't know whether it will be in 2014 or 2015. I like to do it but it is a big question mark because it is not just a question of doing it and then you have it. There is a lot of technique involved: which track do you like and so on. There are so many things.

"It's on the list like the world championships and other goals I want to achieve."

What is guaranteed is that Cancellara will once again focus on the classics and the world championships. His schedule will be up for discussion this week and he still doesn't know whether he will return to the Tour de France which he skipped in 2013.

Cancellara has long made it clear that he would love to wear the rainbow jersey in road races but so far, it has eluded him. Next year's world championships take place in Spain on a very tough course but Cancellara plans to give it a try as time is running out for the 32-year-old Swiss

"Hopefully, there won't be as much rain as in Florence," he said. "I have not so many chances left. I still haven't got what I wanted. Look at how much Bartoli won, but he didn't win the world championships."

Cancellara has signed a three-year contract with Trek and will be 35 years of age when it expires in 2016. Having often stated his desire to be more with his family, the contract could be his final one.

"It might be," he said. "It's been 14 years now. You can ride as long as you want like Jens Voigt, Chris Horner - at 41 years of age you win the Vuelta - but with me, no. I don't say I could stop now. I am still fresh, I am still motivated, I still have this fire. But in the middle of the season, you realize that you get older and older.

"I travel 200-250 days a year," he added. "I am not sleeping in my bed. Okay, sometimes my family is with me at the races or if I go at private training camps. Sometimes it is possible for them to join me but it is not the same as when you are at home. I really enjoyed my holiday with the family after the Worlds and then I had some time at home. Every minute, every night I could sleep in my bed was special.

"Cycling is not everything in life. It is something, it is a passion, it is job, it is something I learn a lot from. But you also have to look at the future."

Cancellara had a highly successful 2013 season that included wins in E3 Harelbeke, the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.
