Cycling ’s double world champion will make his debut
in the Tour this July, with the aim of taking one stage and
seeing whether he can finish a three-week tour for the first
time.
A double stage winner in the 2000 Vuelta, Freire ’s
form has been inconsistent this spring, but after riding
the Tour of Catalonia he claimed the good sensations
were beginning to come back.
Capable, like, Zabel of making it through the high mountains, he could be the German’s biggest rival for the points jersey if he does so.
