[The Hitch]

In this clip Vino talks to Astana's tour team through eurosport:

Can anyone explain what he says?

Vino: Roman, on the rest day training ride, you will attack. Remy. You too.

Paolo on the stage into Gap, you will attack.

(lists who will attack on every stage)

Andrey, in the time trial you will attack

Whole team. on stage into Paris, when everyone is drinking Champaign, you will attack

DI gregorio: (shaking head) but Vino, you cant do this to us. I cant attack on Champs Elysee, i am not a sprinter.

Vino: Thats weakness. For that, on Galibier, you will attack!!

Of course - I should have guessed this

But seriously, why is he crying? I understand "bonjour", after that I am lost.

Thanks for the translation. HS French doesn't cut it in that situation.

Definitely choked me up, even not understanding it. For a man like him to cry like that his anguish must be incredible. My heart is broken for him.

 

[The Hitch]

All right, Eurosport translated part of what Vino said.

He says (stopping to cry every few seconds) that he must follow his destiny. He syas that this is very emotional for him. He wanted to finish on the podium of the Tour (saying he had hoped to win team classification) but unfortunately he has to end it here. He then says that on the one hand he could have continued another year, but he doesnt know what he would want to achieve in that year, so he must follow his destiny.

Harmon's snarky remark aside, it's pretty moving stuff.

Vino is just the most awesome person ever to exist

Great rider, extremely brave, cheater and dumb as a post, Vino in a nutshell.

Harmon's snarky remark aside

he just can't put it to rest, does he
the very last moment of Vino and he still feels the need to mar it

 

[joe_papp]

Agreed. What a poignant moment...

Hopefully Cyclingnews.com will do a retrospective on Vino's career, pending finding the "right" writer... I'd do it myself but am too biased to write anything other than a fawning hero-worship piece.

I think it's Carlton **** Kirby with the snide comments about Vino. Kirby is a walking bawbag who makes Daniel Friebe seem like a Pulitzer Prize winner.

Is that you? You should have asked Vino to hold the baby to transfer his superpowers.

"He might participate in the Giro Lombardia...because he couldn't just quit like that he said"


Haven't found any links for this though.
