terrible just terrible - proof no one wants a clean sport

Ah, shut up. Beautiful victory by one of the real characters of the sport.

 

[Bala Verde]

He just made Petropavlovsk a very happy town!

terrible just terrible - proof no one wants a clean sport

Shouldnt we give the ex doper the benefit of the doubt. He is now subject to the same tests as everyone else.

I have no time for vino's past, but you simply cannot deny what an exciting rider he is. Doping does not give you courage, and heart, and make you that exciting.

 

[Barrus]

terrible just terrible - proof no one wants a clean sport

Ah, go to the clinic. Don't ruin our fun, he is one of the most interesting and probably the rider that animates the most

 

[rhubroma]

Vinoo!
Anybody see Contador sprint right onto the front to slow the group?

Yes and the noteworthy embrace after the finish between the two was a clear sign that they can now kiss and make up.

Ah, shut up. Beautiful victory by one of the real characters of the sport.

nice that you treat a proven drug cheat like a hero............ great stuff

I dont give a sXXX if it was the god damm pope

like I said no one wants clean sport if your going to act like that

 

[Cobblestones]

I'm really getting p|ssed about Phil the Shill. Normally he can't get his piehole open when it comes to doping, but between yesterday and today, he's yapping and yapping about Vino's suspension every time Vino's up front.

 

[theovaf]

Vino goes
Alberto sprints to front to slow down the chase
Vino wins
Two awesome riders working for the same team
Sweet

 

[hfer07]

What a nice victory!!VINO

PS: I hope his win has no "technical" problems

 

[franciep10]

A classic vino win, say what you want about him but you have to admit that he's exciting to watch.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Vino!

Well deserved.

Did you see Bertie and Vino?

That was awesome team work. Contador making the effort and actually messing up the chase.
Big hugs, all is very well at Astana.

Wonder what spin the desperate fanboys will put on this piece of cooperation?

how can you??????? are you really that gullable

if you had heart you wouldnt cheat - its for the weak

and showing a disgust of the result is part of the match thread

 

[The Barb]

Phil Liggett was a bit more edgy than usual in his comments ...

"He's won when he's drugged, and now he's proven he's won when he isn't drugged ... so you'll have to work that one out for yourself."

 

[Hugh Januss]

vino..........

 

[bobs nob]

Yes and the noteworthy embrace after the finish between the two was a clear sign that they can now kiss and make up.

I don't think there was anything to make up about.

 

[reyan12]

nice ride Vino.Viva Astana!!!

Did you also get the bit about how Bruyneel is relaxed not having to defend yellow every day and things are so laid back at the fraudioshack assisted living facility.

 

[slim charles]

vino rulez. i don't care if he wasn't clean in past, but it is really great to watch someone like him.

 

[lilyprotector]

doping pays

wow, kind of surprised by the pro-vino chorus here.

I paid two years on suspension for the dark years of my career.--vino

he has doping written all over him. makes for exciting racing, but it's doping nonetheless.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Vinoo!

That poor old weak Astana team is so divided and can't along obviously.

What a great day to be an Astana fan!

Vino=terrible drug cheat, Lance=clean as a whistle.
