Mama Mia! With yet another incredible burst in the final fifty meters of today's uphill sprint in Torricella Sicura, World Champion Oscar Freire (Rabobank) unleashed a blistering sprint to burn Laurent Brochard's last kilometre escape attempt down to the ground. The final chopper shots revealed the 36 year old French mullet man from Bouygues Telecom alone in the lead, having dispatched his companion Lele Sella (Ceramiche Panaria-Navigare). Broche was making his way strongly towards the finish line, when suddenly at the bottom of the picture tube a white streak popped into view and for the second day in a row, a closer look revealed the yellow and red leader's jersey of Freire closing, passing and winning.

With another 0'10 time bonus from winning Stage Three, Freire increased his race lead over rival Alessandro Petacchi. Freire told RAI-TV's Alessandra Di Stefano in Torricella Sicura, "I didn't know what would happen today or if I would get the chance to win another stage. I hit the barriers at the 1km mark and almost fell at the same place I fell two years ago. But I didn't go down and I'm happy how it worked out."

When asked about his chances in Milano-Sanremo next Saturday, Freire explained, "I don't know...you have to be good on the Poggio. I'm in good form this year, so we'll see."

Stage 3 began at 9:32am Friday on a sparkling, cool morning in Tivoli, with 181 riders taking the start and David Arroyo (Illes Balears) not starting. This stage started in Lazio, traversed the hinterlands of Marche and ended up in Abruzzo, near Gran Sasso national park and was raced in sunny and cool (max 12 degrees) conditions. At the intermediate sprint in Antrodoco (90 km), it was Freire over Petacchi. At the GPM, Carrasco (Illes Balears) took the points over Paulinho (Liberty), but once things regrouped, with Rabobank riding hard tempo today for race leader Oscar Freire, there were no attacks to speak of until Filippo Simeoni (Naturino) made a move near Maltigrano (180km). His move was covered quickly and next up in the hot seat were Pradera (Illes Balears) and Bertolini (Domina Vacanze) but the Rabobankers brought them back.

With 20km to go, Vasseur (Cofidis) attacked and was joined by Hoste (Discovery) and Caucchioli (Credit Agricole) and as the lead trio entered the 15km finishing circuit around Torricella Sicura, the had a 0'15 gap but Fassa Bortolo were chasing as Ale-Jet Petacchi thought he might want to have a go today, despite the uphill sprint. This trio came back with 9.5km to go and suddenly it was Paolo Bettini's gold helmet that popped off the front. Bettini is still far from top form and he only lasted a kilometre before he was brought back.

Successive attacks by Landaluze (Euskaltel) and Devolder (Discovery) went nowhere and as the gruppo went under the 1km to go kite, Brochard had a go. Two weeks from his 37th birthday, aging but still game Brochard gave it a good try. He got a good gap and only Sella could stay with him, but in the end, no-one could hold off the incredible closing speed of Freire, who won his second consecutive stage today. Discovery's George Hincapie was a solid sixth, just ahead of Petacchi (8th), while Chris Horner (Saunier Duval-Prodir) was feeling the effects of his crash yesterday. Horner was third from last in 179th, 17'28" behind Freire today.

Stage 4 - Saturday March 12: Teramo-Servigliano, 160km

One week before Milano-Sanremo, Tirreno-Adriatico's Stage 4 heads due north from Teramo on a tough day through the hills of the Marche region that is decidedly not designed for sprinters. With two GPM's at Montefalcone Appennino (74km) and Rapagnano (124km), then another up and down 30km to the finish, Stage 4 will be a good test for strongmen like Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) or attackers like Lele Sella (Ceramiche Panaria-Navigare).
