Freire can climb as well as, say Moncassin, who came close to
winning

climbs, but tactical errors, which Freire is less likely to make.JT
Tactical errors?? What mistake did he make? He's the sprinter,
Ballerini and Sörensen have to attack. And so they did. He was
able
Quoted message said:to get Ballerini back, but not Sorensen. Which is quite logical after
suffering 260km.Kenny
his tactical error was getting in a break with twofreinds, with years
of experience.
oh man that was a good race, the final was great because you assumed
moncassin was going to win, but ballerini and sorenson were neighbors
and training partners, and they worked him over with style, and
the opportunist won, which is always exciting.
you know the kinda guy who wins flanders sometimes? the old vet with
class, like Bartolami or somebody like that, who hasn't won anything in
a few years, but pops up for a big win, I like that too.
Bugno back in the day, after dropping off the radar for awhile.
Freire, is a very boring rider to watch, sitting anonymously in the
pack waiting to pop out in the last 50 meters, yawn.
I know it's smart and he's successful, but very boring to watch.
