Gosh he's stamping his name on MSR. Freire looked so certain of it coming into that last straight. Picked a great wheel again. Becoming his trademark in MSR.

FREIRE!! What a cyclist! No one ever gives this guy the respect he deserves--not even his own team.

What a finish!

What do you mean by this? Rabobank and Freire have been together for years and have won a bunch of major races?

Shame Pippo went too early. Sky needed one more rider and maybe Bo-Hagen could have been in the fold, looked like he and Flecha got split into that final turn and lost it... Freire win thoroughly deserved..

What's really impressive is that he went in to the sprint with Boonen on HIS wheel--but just man-handled him.

(And for the record, I chose Freire to win [but I was hoping for Beppu])

Looked like Boonen was sprinting on fumes

anyway only Pozzato e Gilbert have tried. Hushovd, Cancellara, Cunego just weren't there.

I'm still not sure that Sky rider who contested the sprint was EBH, it may have been Simon Gerrans. Either way, he got in the wind with about 700m to go, and then managed to get on Boonen's wheel but left a bit of a gap and spent too much energy closing it down.
