Sunday, October 3: Elite Men's Road Race, 265.5 km.

18 laps of 14.75 kilometers. Paolo Bettini had to abandon with a sore knee on lap 15. This is Freire's 3rd Rainbow Jersey ('99, '01, '04). He joins some rather fine company in that club: Alfredo Binda ('27, '30, '32), Rik Van Steenbergen ('49, '56, '57) and Eddy Merckx ('67, '71, '74).

Oscar Freire just beats Erik Zabel to become World Champion
