I haven't seen todays stage finish, but it sounds a whole lot like last weeks stage that Freire won. He got a good jump. Boonen was in good position and looked like he was digging like a dog to keep up, but just didn't have the engine. Freire is such a smooth sprinter, he's fun to watch. It appears effortless to him.
