Three time world champion Oscar Freire won yesterday's Milano-San Remo in impressive style. He may have just stayed home and played with his stuffed animals for all that the Spanish seemed to care.
Unless you're leading a Grand Tour, Spaniards don't really notice cyclists. Just ask fellow Costa Brava resident Juan Antonio Flecha (the Cycopaths keep a summer home there -ed). He could win Paris-Roubaix nude on a unicycle and you wouldn't hear a peep from the Spanish media.
They'd prefer a report on Dani Pedrosa's love for his helmet or on the current state of Fernando Torres' hair.

Totally agree with you. The Spanish "audience" don`t care about the classics what so ever. Therefore, Freire doesn`t get the attention he`s worthy of. And, yeah, Fernando Torres looks oh so cool with that eyebrow of his.
¡Visca el Barça!
Errr, ¡Aupa Oscar!
