Triple world champion Oscar Freire has officially retired from the sport. He will not be at the start line in Sunday's Paris-Tours, his Katusha team announced, although the French race was his last Classics win in 2010.

He's 27... oh wait it's Sky. 
yeah he's 27, but he's only been back in cycling for a few years
Didn't he miss a couple of years due to illness? We know what to expect then? Tour de France 1-2 with Froome and JTL.
Yes, he did. He also was injured most of last year.
To be fair it's his own fault he was out of cycling for so long. He's the one who insisted on going right back to the island after all that crap trying to get out if it.
Really? I thought he was the one who got lost in the Aegean and that's why it took him so long to get back...
That reference doesn't make sense, his name isn't Odusseus

Haha, I didn't put two and two together. I never watched Lost (I do know that their is a character named Locke on it, but nothing about him), and didn't realize you were referencing it. I thought you were just throwing out something where someone took a really long time to get back from somewhere.
Boy do I look like an idiot... |

I think JTL will have a similar role to that Nordhaug had this season 
no, being british gives him ultimate priority status at sky |

Haha, no worries. Both are named Jon Locke, hence the joke

Danny Pate. The reason he didn't win the Worlds was because he was too busy building the time machine he needed to go back and establish empiricism. |

No one is denying the first point, but your example is not true. He was entirely justified in what he said. Australia and Germany didn't help because they didn't want to help GB keep the race together, which is fine...if a mass sprint wasn't their only chances as well. The both decided they'd rather let a break get away then help GB catch everyone and setup a sprint, which was stupid because Greipel had beaten Cav in the Tour and Goss had gotten close. It's their prerogative, of course, but it did seem a little spiteful.
I don't see why Australia would contribute with O'Grady in the breakaway, especially as he is/was one of our greatest ever one day racers. Germany is a strange one, perhaps Griepel wasn't feeling too good? But still it is unfair from Cavendish to blame others to not pull in the breakaway. Why would they, when its clear that 9 times out of 10 Cavendish will beat even Griepel in a bunch sprint. |

I would say that that still leaves Greipel a 1 in 10 chance of the Gold, and an excellent chance of Silver. The way the race was ridden he ended up with no chance of anything. |

Probably just for the WT points if it happens. Freire won't race. |

That's extremely strange. I mean it.
Yesterday, Galdeano denied that there was any truth to that rumor, and my reaction was "i didn't see that rumor anywhere".
A day after he denies it, is when it's published by the meida? Wut?
