Vino Comeback Thread

[Punter]

Vino doesn't exist. He's Chuck Norris disguised as a cyclist

Brilliant Icefire I will be quoting you when I send my daily TDF mail out - Vino is a legend!

 

[Runitout]

Nice parody.

It needed another spelling error and maybe a reference to Martin Vinnicombe being unjustly targetted. Still, eight out of ten.

There is a age old saying - Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

99% of people on this board may be gullable but im certainly not - its a bit like your hiring for a company and you hire someone who got sacked by his previous work for frauding that company. Or a law firm hiring someone who was disembarred from working as a lawer previously.

After getting rilled up last night I realise if you want to believe he has learnt his less well there is nothing I can do about it - just dont come crying on the forum when it blows up in your face

go to the clinic read the thread(s) about Vino and see how many of the posters in this topic and today's race topic are thinking concerning his doping. This part of the forum, this board is where a lot of us try to not think about doping and just enjoy the race and the manner in which people ride

Also one of the best parts of the post-race interview (paraphased):

I would like to win another stage, but there really isn't another stage for me. But there is always the Champs Elyssee"

WooooooW !!!

Pfff, this is nothing.

Lo and behold!

To paraphrase BroDeal, if Armstrong, Kloden et al are allowed to race, then so should Vino and good on him.

 

[53 x 11]

Pfff, this is nothing.

Lo and behold!

Reminds me of the good old days when Jan and Vino would go out hunting.

 

[craig1985]

Only Vino could do that!

That analogy would be fine if you were comparing workplaces of equal standing, most employers would hope they haven't got rampant fraudsters in their midst and of course you wouldn't want to employ someone convicted of fraud.

Pro cycling is full of fraudsters that have just been lucky enough not to have been caught, hell the biggest unconvicted fraudster of them all is apparently the most popular of all the riders.

That's why I feel some joy for a rider who has served his time and penalty and come back with some success, we haven't endured years of BS and lies from him, he seems to have learned his lesson. I give people a second chance, if he stuffs up again he can take his life ban and stuff off.

Awesome...

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Only Vino could do that!

I will never forget that. Vino is like a god to me and what personality to show up in your first race back after being suspended in a shirt covering a photo of you in the timetrial that got him suspended. he's a ****ing hero!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

everyone loves vino should hear it on the news there starting by saying 'ex doper wins stage at tour de drugs" ..... thing is everyone can't but wonder if he is clean 100%,an the press are loving it..

maybe they say so in your country but who cares. in all the traditional cycling country's people went mad yesterday about how great of a win vino had. we could care less about america or germany watching the tour. we have done so without them for many decades.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

That island is built from the bones of Vino's enemies.

well said!! LOL

That about sums it up.

Vino's Vuelta stage win...most exciting finish ever

The one thing that Vino does is he races.


I still remember his 00 Vuelta stage win where he attacked about 20 km up and made up about a minute and a half and caught Laiseka and one other guy in sight of the line. Nothing tactical, just pure instinct.

+1

Yes... that was the most exciting 50min of racing ever seen...Vino jumped out of the bunch and just drove on alone, the gap to the two Spaniards barely coming down.

Then after chasing a seemingly hopeless task, the tide turned as the two Spaniards started squabbling at 2km to go, eased up, and suddenly Vino was eating up the gap but still was never going to make it.

The long-shot from the finish line shows that he'd not quite managed it... no sign... but hang on, there he is hidden from view, tucked in amongst cars and traffic, going like the steam... and the two Spaniards didn't know he was even coming as they were still squabbling.

It was last-gasp stuff as he got them with about 20m to go...it should be a classic for cycle coaching courses. I thought the two Spaniards should have been put down.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

just wondering but is your name derived from the famous abdelkader zaaf?? and his famous incidident were during a stage he drunk 2 bottles of wine while he was in the attack and then fell a sleep under a tree?

Look careful at the picture beside his name. That's the tree. Guess who the rider is?

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Vino's stage win

I agree that this was a great stage win. It showed that if you are brave enough and have the talent then success is possible. Hopefully it also demonstrates that victories are achievable without doping.

 

[markene2]

Found somthing interesting...

Vinokourov acknowledged that Revel was probably his last chance of winning a stage, although he quipped: “There’s always the Champs Elysées, though…”

I wish I could find this on video or dvd or in someone's basement. It was never showed herein america, i only saw it as a passing feed someplace a few years back.

 

[palmerq]

Vinokourov should dump his support of contador now and try to get into the top 10 on gc and win the stage in paris :S... He's less than a minute from 10th place... It's unlikely but it would be great to see him get a good placing...

What a great comeback he's having too.. hats off to the old git.
