World Champion Oscar Freire and Tom Steels, both of Mapei, bested the German übersprinter Erik Zabel today in a field sprint of 170 riders in downtown Cala Millor, Mallorca. The pair finished first and second in the bunch sprint, with Zabel third. However, the German had some consolation in taking over the lead in the general classification.

On a mild, overcast day in Mallorca, Juan Antonio Flecha, a first-year rider with iBanesto.com, broke away from the peloton at 45 kilometres and stayed away from the field for 100 kilometres. His gap to the field remained at about two and a half minutes, but crept up to 4 minutes at one point before Kelme started the chase, with Mapei and Telekom aiding.

At 144 km, the peloton caught Flecha and seemed comfortable riding to the finish together. 12 kilometres from the finish saw the first mountain sprint, where Paolo Bettini (Mapei) opened up a gap on the field up the 1 kilometre climb. Local favorite Mallorcan Tony Colom (Cochon Relax-Fuenlabrada) beat Bettini by a bike length at the line and Mathew Hayman (Rabobank) was third.

Bettini and Colom rode together away from the field over the next three kilometres with Bettini eventually dropping Colom from his wheel. The field absorbed Bettini within the last six kilometres and Telekom, Mapei and Kelme began setting up for a bunch sprint.

The sprint had a hairpin turn at 150 meters and Steels lead the peloton through the turn with Freire on his wheel and Zabel in third. At less than 50 meters, Freire outsprinted Steels for the win with Zabel unable to overtake Steels. The third-place finish moved Zabel into first in the General Classification.

"I told Steels to go ahead into the last corner," said Freire after the race. "I had no idea how fast we were going, had I known I would give him the win."

Freire went on to say that teammate Steels had a horrible 2001 season and needed a win more than he did. When asked about the significance of beating Zabel, Freire responded, "It doesn't mean anything to beat Zabel here. It will mean something at Milan-San Remo."

Freire will not race tomorrow or on the last day of the Tour of Mallorca. Tomorrow's stage is hilly with three climbs (categories 1, 2 and 3) over 172 kilometres from Port d'Alcudia in the north of the island.
