Wow, Freire's just kicking butt right now. When that guy's not injured (which is about 20 days a year ;) ) he's the best there is. He went head to head with Petacchi, after milram spent about 60 K getting him to the front (and catching the break away, along with Quick-Step and Lampre) and Freire came out with his THIRD stage win!

Nice.
Great confidence boosters for Worlds, although any GT stage is huge unto itself.

no-one brings himself up to top form quicker than El Gato. 2 or 3 month layoff, then 3 weeks training and he's turning the 11 like it's not there.

An amazing talent.

Well, he isn't a three (3) time world champion for nothing. He's one of the greatest talents to ever throw a leg over a bike. Just can't stay healthy. Not like he just came out of left field to do this.
