Freiberg subsequently put his racing career on hold in order to develop the Automated Integrated Resistance hub (AIRhub), a resistance training unit designed to simulate mountain riding on flat roads, which is used by a number of UCI WorldTour professionals in their training, including André Greipel, Mathew Hayman, Adam Hansen, Esteban Chaves and Luke Durbridge.[9][10]
Return to cycling
Freiberg subsequently returned to competition in 2017, joining IsoWhey Sports SwissWellness in May of that year[3] with the aim of competing for Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Queensland.[10] In 2019 Freiberg won the Australian National Road Race Championships.[11]
