You know you've made it when you get a special race because you retire!

Those two got quite close recently with all those photos...

All others are his usual circle plus Purito and Nibali.

maybe this is why?

Vinokourov de coureur à manager

with his constant dabbling in the dark side suprised he gets so much respect, hes ok but should be going quietly with his past.

 

[RedheadDane]

I think it's the attacking stuff.

And here I was thinking that he would be the next president of the UCI

manafana, this isn't the correct forum to talk about any issues you may have with him.

Vino rides with his heart and soul, brain and guts, and everything inbetween.

he has my total respect.

He is everything that is good with this sport, sad to see him retire

And his style of racing is one that every rider should try to emulate. I'm hoping he can turn Nibbles into the next great vino-like racer.

if i didn't know he was a rider, i'd think Ivanov is some kind of russian mafia boss, a killer, a drug dealer from deep siberia. ho just wears a shirt even in winter by the look on his face
