"Ours is a Pinocchio connected to his origins, happy, athletic and attentive.
He is looking at the horizon, expressing an optimistic attitude versus the future. The expression of his face is smiling, happy, positive and at the same time astonished." (like every doper who was caught)

The cycling gods must have humour

 

[Descender]

Are you kidding me?

The Florence guys are my new heroes.

 

[ebandit]

?

will the winner .......be doping.................telling lies?

 

[hrotha]

He looks pretty tranquilo.

 

[Don Quixote]

Wow. One hopes the UCI mascot won't get defaced. Or refaced.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

His right hand should carry a medical aid kit and nose could be made as a syringe.

 

[GoGarmin]

Oh my god -- this is too good to be true.

 

[hrotha]

Look at his hair. I think he's modelled after Basso.

 

[Baroh1488]

Pinncohio is looking towards the future. So is Contador, Armstrong, Scleck, Indurain, Valverde and Sanchez... we should all follow Pinnocchios example.

 

[peterst6906]

Oh my, that is so hilarious.

You really couldn't script this stuff. No-one would believe it, but the organisers are my hero's right now.

He knows that doping is a thing of the past and something that happened 15 years ago.

 

[ebandit]

good?

Oh my god -- this is too good to be true.

too good?.................too funny?.................or so sad?

 

[DominicDecoco]

Haha, yeah, why not? A bit of humour - intentionally or not - in the middle of this mess is a breath of fresh air.

Good stuff.

 

[the asian]

Hilarious. Apt mascot for cycling.

He should welcome Pat to the presentation ceremony.

 

[DominicDecoco]

too good?.................too funny?.................or so sad?

Why..........do...........you.......always.......write.........like............this?.........

 

[Don Quixote]

 

[skidmark]

Look at his hair. I think he's modelled after Basso.

Do you think his nose didn't grow because he only 'attempted lying', and didn't actually successfully lie?

"..He is looking at the horizon, expressing an optimistic attitude versus the future. The expression of his face is smiling, happy, positive and at the same time astonished"

maybe we are witnessing the birth of a new meme..

 

[howsteepisit]

Just too good to be true!

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

LOL.

The funny thing is that most of the peloton are too stupid to realise that everyone is laughing at them.

 

[IFRider]

Fixed that for them.

 

[DominicDecoco]

 

[peterst6906]

This one definitely deserves a longer nose.

 

[Don Quixote]

Hmmmm nearly, can you swap the body and face around? Leave the hat on.

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

The head can be put on pretty much every British or Spanish cyclist who has commented on the Armstrong affair as to a man they are
