Paris-Tours 2010

[joy118118]

The GPS is as bad as Vuelta

 

[The Hitch]

Freire. Well done.

 

[Jamsque]

Oscar! Worlds revenge indeed!

 

[Moondance]

I wonder if anyone who went to the Worlds will win a race in this final week.

Ask and ye shall be answered

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Friere haha. As much as I wanna see the break get caught, you gotta love seeing this guy win.

 

[Ferminal]

There's my answer... Wasn't expecting Oscar to contest.

Thought McEwen looked good from that position but managed to get himself caught out.

 

[khardung la]

I will miss Freire when he retires. Such class and intelligence....It is a pitty he was not more valued, specially in Spain.

 

[hrotha]

Chaotic sprint. Freire showed quite the final punch today, wonder where it was last week

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

was the vacan. guy felliu? He did epic fail.

 

[HL2037]

That was a nice try by le Quatre (sp?), even if it didn't work...

 

[Jamsque]

Top 10:

Freire
Furlan
Steekmans
Lodewyck
Arashiro (worlds form!)
Feillu
Offredo
Weylandt
Eisel
Chavanel

 

[The Hitch]

Some of you said Freire didnt have it because he underperformed at Worlds.

But i knew Freire would come through.

Im going with Bennati or Freire.

the last few km of paris-tours make it hard for that situation.

Gilbert?

Where's Millar?

 

[ak-zaaf]

Too bad for Lequartre =/

Nice comback by Freire after being pushed to the side by Mcewen.
Great addition to Oscarito's amazing palmares.

 

[Jamsque]

Where's Millar?

At the Commonwealth games?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

At the Commonwealth games?

Millar won - Cav 7th I think

 

[jsem94]

Sux for lequatre... but good that freire finally got a win after sucking all season (cept MSR win ofc)

 

[The Hitch]

Why is this, with a worse parcors, so much better than Milan San Remo

 

[sublimit]

Millar was Position 3, Alan Davis won the Commonwealths.

Enjoyed this race even though we only saw the last 40 k owing the useless scheduling at Eurosport

 

[hrotha]

At the Commonwealth games?

Well yes, if you want to be all serious about it.

 

[Kwibus]

I got home turned the tele on with 3k to go. Hoped it would've been 20k to go, but it came down to a bunchsprint so didn't really matter.

Very nice by Freire. He starts his season with Milan - San Remo and ends with Paris - Tours. Class rider who always manages to win big races every season. On the dutch tele they said he was complaining this morning that he wasn't good and had some pain here and there which was an indication for the commentator that Freire could win since Freire always wins when you don't expect him to win

 

[Kwibus]

Millar won - Cav 7th I think

Millar 3rd. Davis won, but this is offtopic.

 

[Lanark]

Why is this, with a worse parcors, so much better than Milan San Remo

Because Milano - Sanremo is at the start of the season, when everyone is in shape and highly motivated.

Freire, what a weird guy. Almost completely invisible for the entire season, except two days, resulting in two classic wins.

 

[El Pistolero]

Some of you said Freire didnt have it because he underperformed at Worlds.

But i knew Freire would come through.

If you're talking about me I said Freire didn't show anything that resembles a good form, but I also said he's Oscar Freire and he wins when you don't expect it. That's what he does.

Anyway why is everybody talking about Freire having a crappy season? This is his best season since 2007.
