With an incredible finishing burst in the last fifty meters, Rabobank's Oscar Freire showed why he's wearing the rainbow stripes of the World Champion, winning Stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico in Tivoli today. With his 0'10 time bonus from the stage win, Freire took over the race lead from yesterday's winner Alessandro Petacchi and with typical modesty, Freire told RAI-TV's Alessandra DiStefano, "It was hard to cover everything today at the finish, but my Rabobank team worked well, especially Boogerd who did a great job on the final climb. I think if the finish was 50 meters before, I probably wouldn't have won, but it worked out the way it did. I'm happy with this result because this is an important race and it's really good preparation for Milano-Sanremo."

When Di Stefano asked Freire who his favourite was for La Classicissima, other then himself, he laughed and said, "Freire, no, let's see in a week. I think Petacchi is in good shape and with his team so strong, he will be good. And there are a lot of others..."

Today wasn't a good finish for Petacchi, who was 29th and lost the Tirreno-Adriatico race lead.

Stage 2 started at 11:11 this morning in the Roman port of Civitavecchia, hometown of the Petito cycling family (Naturino DS Pino and Fassa Bortolo's Roberto), with 182 riders hitting the road for Tivoli. Brett Lancaster (Ceramiche Panaria-Navigare) didn't take the start. On a sunny, bright morning where temps were 12 degrees centigrade, the first two hours of Tirreno-Adriatico were "piano", with an average of just over 30 km/h. At the first sprint in Viterbo after 56km, it was new Phonak man Guidi ahead of Liquigas Killer Di Luca. After Viterbo, the T-A gruppo hit the main climb of the day to Poggio Nibbio, where Kolobnev (Rabobank) won ahead of 2004 Olympic silver medalist Paulinho (Liberty).

After the descent from Poggio Nibbio, experienced domestique Wim Vansevenant (Davitamon-Lotto) took off and went solo after 94km near Nepi and grabbed the sprint bonus in Civita Castellana, where he had a 2'35 lead. It was a perfect tactic by D-L to protect Robbie McEwen and make the other sprinters teams chase. Vansevenant's lead maxed out at 9'00 at the feed zone in Rignano Flaminio after 118km. After lunch, the sprinters began to chase, as Fassa Bortolo, Rabobank and Liquigas hit the front and began their pursuit of the Belgian.

With 30km to go in Castelchiodato, Wim's margin had fallen to 6'00 as the chase cranked up behind him. On a sharp left hand bend leading to the penultimate climb of the day up to Palombara Sabina, Chris Horner (Saunier Duval-Prodir) crashed with some other riders when the missed the turn, but the American got up slowly and chased back on. At the top of the second to last ascent, the Davitamon-Lotto man had 4'00 and was now losing climb quickly.

At the base of the descent with 10km to go, Vansevenant still had a lead of 1'30, but on the long straight tree lined road leading to the final ascent up to Tivoli, the chasers could see the cars around the break about 1km up the road and were pounding away at 60km/h. With 3.5km left, Vansevenant was sucked up and spit out the back by the hard charging gruppo.

Local lad Roberto Petito (Fassa Bortolo) hit the front on the long gentle ascent up to Tivoli to keep the group together. Liquigas's excellent neo pro Mugerli took a hard pull to set up an attack for Di Luca but he went so hard he gapped the sprinters. When he slowed with 2km to go, rabid attacker Lele Sella (Panaria) made a counter move, which set up his in-form teammate Tiralongo. But it all came back together at the 1 km kite, where old hand Sergio Barbero (Saunier Duval-Prodir) made strong surge. He was marked by Vicioso (Liberty), Devolder (Discovery Channel) and Baguet (Davitamon-Lotto). This quartet quickly got a 50m gap when Devolder hit the front and took a huge pull, but Vicioso was too coy and didn't come through quickly enough. The strung-out gruppo closed down and absorbed most of the front four riders as Vicioso started his sprint. The Liberty rider was looking good until he eased off in the last 100m and with Freire closing like a bat outta hell, Angel signed his own death warrant. Like an avenging angel, Freire blasted past Vicioso in the last 40m and won going away with his hands held high in a victory salute.

Stage 3 - Friday 11 March: Tivoli-Torricella Sicura, 228km

Following recent heavy snowfall in the Apennine Mountains east of Rome, the course of Friday's Stage 3 has been changed. The stage start will be 20 minutes earlier because the stage length has been increased by 13km to 228km and there will only be one GPM after 117.4km in Torritella (1.017m.) instead of two more difficult planned climbs of Capannelle (1.283m) and Crognaleto (1105m). Stage 3 heads east from Rome past Rieti and into the Apennines, up over the Torritella climb, down through Ascoli Piceno and back up to Teramo with a finishing circuit outside Teramo in Torricella Sicura.
