Tumbleweed Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 No more pro cycling, but he'll still remain involved in cycling: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12635/Vinokourov-says-farewell-to-pro-cycling-at-Clasica-San-Sebastian.aspx
fandacious Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Gonna miss him... He reminds me a lot of Jens Voigt
Azonic Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Should have quit with the Olympic race. Now he'll roll in in 9th place. Rather should have gone out on top. IMHO. Akon 1
Jakkals. Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Should have quit with the Olympic race. Now he'll roll in in 9th place. Rather should have gone out on top. IMHO. he went out as the olympic champion. doesnt matter where he came in SSB. great bike rider, cycling will miss him.
GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Gonna miss him... He reminds me a lot of Jens Voigt Yeah, I will too. Like him or not, he is one of the remaining few real characters of the sport. Edited August 15, 2012 by GrumpyOldGuy
Velouria Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Should have quit with the Olympic race. Now he'll roll in in 9th place. Rather should have gone out on top. IMHO.He's got to ride at least one race with a gold bike and pimped kit and helmet... http://www.cyclingfans.net/2012/images/2012_clasica_san_sebastian_alexandre_vinokourov_gold_bike1a.jpg
Brian Fantana Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Should have quit with the Olympic race. Now he'll roll in in 9th place. Rather should have gone out on top. IMHO. Well at least he got to ride a bike and kit in a pro tour race with some gold in the colour scheme, which an hounor for an Olympic Champion.
'Dale Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I still believe that Vino and Burry are brothers...Have a closer look. What a career - controversial, with longevity.
Jeepdude Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 He had balls........ Respect. How many stages/races did he go for that solo breakaway , just sorry bout the epo rust spots on past trophies
Squier Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 He's a legend! Cycling will mis him! I would've stayed another season just to rock the pimped kit and gold bike! Looks awesome!
Tumbleweed Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 He's a legend! Cycling will mis him! I would've stayed another season just to rock the pimped kit and gold bike! Looks awesome!

Cippo Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 He's got to ride at least one race with a gold bike and pimped kit and helmet... http://www.cyclingfans.net/2012/images/2012_clasica_san_sebastian_alexandre_vinokourov_gold_bike1a.jpg Vino rocks! That gold colour looks quite 'kief' on frame. Pity about the bar tape.
'Dale Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Vino rocks! That gold colour looks quite 'kief' on frame. Pity about the bar tape. Notice the gold-trimmed wiele too.Bling bling! Very cool if you have an Olympic gold medal in your cupboard.
fandacious Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 He had balls........ Respect. How many stages/races did he go for that solo breakaway , just sorry bout the epo rust spots on past trophies vino was never busted for epo... only blood doping.
Cav' Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 That golden bike looks so cool, but yeah the handlebar tape looks a bit freddie mercury
Dirtbreath Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Very disapppointed that this doper has gone out on such a high. Was a big fan of his until he got bust. I'm all for lifetime bans for dopers. Their only regret is that they get caught.
