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.

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.

He's got to ride at least one race with a gold bike and pimped kit and helmet...

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.

I still believe that Vino and Burry are brothers...

Have a closer look.

What a career - controversial, with longevity.

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!

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.

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.
