Oscar Freire - success through confusion
On behalf of the absent-minded, we would just like to say that Oscar Freire has restored our self-esteem. Yes, we might get a little confused from time to time, but sometimes there's genius in the madness.
Freire's claims that he had somehow blundered into the limelight and a second Tour stage win of his career were very much in keeping with his reputation for absent-mindedness.He regularly forgets his race number - back-up staff take red and black pens, paper and Sellotape with them so they can knock up a makeshift replacement - and once drove 100 kilometres to pick up his riding licence but got so engrossed in eating yoghurts at a friend's house that he forgot to take it home with him.
