Fabian Cancellara, who is honing his preparation currently in Qatar, is already thinking about next season. His contract binding him with Trek Factory Racing ends at the end of the season. So many are asking the following question: what does he do the next season ?

He wants to finish his career at the perfect moment. "It could be, it could be and it's my decision," he told the press at the Tour of Qatar according to Cyclingnews. "It's my decision and no one else can make it. I've been a pro since 2000 but I'm still motivated and I'm still here. The level is still here and I've been on this level since 2006 and every year I can still achieve a big goal or a big race."

But he added that "nothing is planned". "I have a contract that ends in 2016 but I've said that I want to stop on the highest level. It could be this year, it could be next year. I know that these are my last years and that's no secret. That perhaps doesn't motivate me more but it does turn me back to when I was a kid," he explained.

"In the last few years, the older I have become, everything has become more complicated. Whether it's internally, externally, the expectations on everything needing to be 100 per and that if things were not 100 per cent then I missed it. I tried to turn everything back and while I wouldn't call it re-starting, I just tried to think like a kid more. It's about not thinking too much, just racing, and going back to my basics. I just try to enjoy things and that's what I'm doing."
