Rabobank’s three-time World Champion scores stage win at Spanish season opener
Rabobank’s Oscar Freire claimed his first win of the 2010 season on Monday, outsprinting the field in the second day of racing at the five-day Mallorca Challenge in Spain.
The three-time World Champion outsprinted German André Greipel (HTC-Columbia) on his Giant TCR Advanced SL team bike to take the Trofeo Cala Millor stage in his home nation of Spain. It was the 32-year-old’s eighth career win at the Mallorca Challenge, the traditional season opener in Spain.
Freire’s win, over one of the world’s fastest sprinters, marked a promising start to the 2010 season—especially after an injury-shortened 2009 during which he only scored two wins.
“To begin the season with a victory always gives you motivation,” Freire said. “I’ve achieved a win without being in top form, so I am happy.”
