Freire takes two
By Jeff Jones

Oscar Freire has wasted no time in taking the Rabobank team to the top of the podium in the Ruta del Sol. After winning yesterday's first stage in Cordoba, Freire again triumphed in today's stage 2 which finished in Huelva. Today the battle for second place went to Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2r), who lost to Freire by a small but sufficient margin. Third was Luca Paolini (Quick Step) who has been in good sprinting shape this season.
After his first season win yesterday, Freire was quick to thank his Rabobank teammates, who worked as a solid unit to get him into the right position. He was also a little critical of his former team, Mapei-Quick Step: "With Mapei there was always one or another Italian who would go himself in the closing kilometres, but here I saw seven teammates working shoulder to shoulder. I thank them," said Freire.
Today the procedure was repeated, with similar success, allowing Freire to keep the leader's jersey that he took on day 1. It's already a good sign for the Spaniard's chances in the World Cup this year, which is his big season goal.
The second stage from Sevilla to Huelva started without Robert Bartko (Rabobank), leaving a peloton of 126 riders to take the 165 km journey. The beginning of the stage was marked by numerous attacks, none of which were successful as many of the riders still had fresh legs. Xavier Tondo (Paternina-Costa De Almería) was intent on taking as many Metas Volantes points as possible today, in order to build on his lead established in yesterday's long breakaway effort. He did so today, winning the first sprint at Guillena (20.5 km), and taking second at Castillo De Las Guardas (km 56.8) and also at Valverde del Camino (km 111.6).
Tondo would most likely have won these sprints had not Quick Step's Jurgen Van Goolen attacked at the 35 km mark. The young Belgian was allowed to go by the peloton, and established a lead that reached 7'16 by kilometre 63. The gap continued to grow over the fairly flat terrain, and by kilometre 98 it was up to 11 minutes. At that point, Rabobank, Phonak, Telekom and Kelme got to the front and started chasing hard.

In 20 kilometres the combined might of these teams had knocked 5 minutes off Van Goolen's lead, and the Belgian was doomed. He was caught at km 148, after 116 km in the lead, and the pace kept increasing in the peloton. The only other rider to try and attack was Alessio's Ruslan Ivanov, but he was absorbed by the sprinters' teams.
The finale was full speed, with Freire getting the better of Kirsipuu and Paolini in the bunch sprint. Erik Zabel was fourth, and will have to bide his time before taking his first win of the season. It certainly won't happen tomorrow, as the third stage from Sevilla to Lucena finishes with a Cat. 1 climb.
