Vino Comeback Thread

Takes a cheat to love a cheat I suppose. I don't think you of all people can throw things like this in people's faces.

Yet the same people who love Vino and refuse to criticise him have no problems in calling out Sky when they win. Hypocrites the lot of yee and don't pretend yee are not.

I would'nt listen to a word again out of yere mouths and that's the truth.

Cycling is entertainment. I do agree that he hasn't been remotely repentant but nonetheless, I love his spirit!

I am closing this thread to remove all doping references and to award bans to those who made them. It will be re-opened shortly.

Kind of childish response compared to some (those who I have read) of you other posts.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Suspensions are coming.

Please note that obscenities and doping discussion are not allowed, and suspensions will be handed out.

Me too.. Im so happy for him right now

What a legend!!!! A more than fitting and poetic end to great career. Also a great result for Uran & Colombia although I can't help imagining Vino yelling "Here they come just before he launched his race winning sprint, leaving Rigoberto out of position and surprised by Vino's move. Vino would've gotten it anyway-it appeared had the better legs at the end.

I can't help but be happy at how it turned out with the seeming inevitable nature of a Cavendish win, ending in the Sky/GB train derailing in the end.

coverage is ages behind here and i had not wanted to know the outcome, but... i do... and i can't stop smiling either (even as i am still waiting for the outcome on the tele ).

 

[woodenswan]

we wont remember this small hiccup after his Olympic double up anyway

1 to go

 

[pastronef]

i think he should continue. i hope this gold medal changes his mind, and we have him for a last season in 2013, riding a golden bike in the classics and the Tour

 

[SafeBet]

I hope he retires right away.
Would leave an awesome memory of himself.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Excellent! Wonderful surprise win...beautiful tactics!
Saved the entire race!!

 

[samerics]

What a man.
What rider.
What a legend.

What an unrepentant cheat...

 

[OctaBech]

Congrats Vino for bringing colour to the sport.

What an unrepentant cheat...

I this allowed?

Jan Ullrich is very happy about Vino's Gold

"Nach 12 Jahren schafft Vino das Ungalubliche-die Olympische Goldmedaille! Es tut mir natürlich leid für unsere deutsche Medaillenhoffnung André Greipel, aber für meinen Freund Vino freue ich mich sehr. Für ihn und sein Land bedeutet dieser Sieg unglaublich viel"

"Twelve years later Vino does the the incredible, he wins the gold medal. Of course i feel sorry for our hope Andre Greipl. but i am so happy for my friend Vino. For him and his country this victory means so incredibly much!"

This man is a hero, doped or not, he has grinta.

No matter what your opinion of Vino, he is one of the biggest names in the sport over the past 10 years. Everyone has an opinion on him and this is what creates popularity. Along with his type of racing, this makes for viewing. He is a rock star. He creates discussion. IN basketball, people either love Lebron or hate (mostly for his televised decision to Miami) but again he makes you watch.

Vino will be missed, especially by us fans, and his place in the peleton will be missed.

we need MOAR!!! awwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

today's a GREAT day for cycling! in your face PAT!

(btw what's up with those FREAKIN helmets lately???)

 

[RedheadDane]

This is how we all thought it would end 12 months ago.

This is how it actually ended!

 

[richwagmn]

Excellent.

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

They should make a movie about Vino.

Make it 7 hour epic covering everything: from soviet training camp to collapse and first years in France and Casino, Kivilev's career (4th in TDF) and death and Vino's dedication to win damned race that took his friend's life, T-Mobile years: Voigt, Ulle, Kloden, Zabel, and all t-mobile Sydney win. Botero. Tours, LBLs, Amstels, Astana, traumas and overcoming...

Scorcese, get on it!
