Vino the Quote Machine

Print"'I fought alongside Ullrich to try to beat Lance, now I will do it together with Alberto,' Vinokourov told the Spanish daily MARCA."
My recollection of Vino's "help" was that he would attack his own teammates, fall off early on the big climbs, and shoot off into the distance on suicide attacks that didn't end up succeeding. And now, with these sterling tactical instincts, he's appointed himself captain on the road for Astana. I'm not sure if I'm excited because he'll be fun to watch or I'm frustrated because he's insane.

I want the:
Vino is going to win Rasmussen wise the Tour
and
Alberto—- Because Vino rocks and he is going to assist Alberto to the yellow
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
And to add.. If he attacks I think he rocks
If he let Conta lose, he will be my hero.. And if he let him win.. He kept promise.. All 3 works…
And to say Contador was listening to teamorders….

Vino is not going to be within ten minutes of Bert
dream on little Dutchie
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
What's your problem tonight dude?
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
Oh please, you know I was being snarky
although seriously, Vino will not be within ten minutes of Bert.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
We'll see about that.. Although he rarely finished within 10 minutes..
Vino
1999: 35ste +1.02.23
2000: 15th +32.26 Vuelta: 28st +42.56
2001: 16th +33.55
2003: 3th +4.14
2005: 5th +11.02
Vuelta 2006: 1st
2002, 2004, 2009 Vuelta DNF..
I think it’s a save bet to say he won’t finish within 10 minutes.. However.. The Giro on the other hand!
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
They love dirty riders.. Or so I heard..
But why not.. Now if he only hire Kasechskin again they could do those tremendous double-attacks and bye Pelli. Mosquera, BAsso, Satsre and Evans! Ugh… I really would like that.. But that competition… Getting tougher every day.. Or so it seems…
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
Yep.. Curious what happened there..
Maybe Vino was disappointed in Kasche.. (:
Oh that every day was supposed to be every year

Vino will touch Evans dog for kicks
And Evans will bite his head off. End of story.

Not sure how Vino not starting helps Bert anymore than if he does
Vino will get all the attacking out of his bones at the Giro and will stay put at the Tour. Really I don’t think he will be able to attack that much cause…well…he isn’t doping anymore(one would hope). Vino also seems to actually like Bert quite a bit and vice versa.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Totally forget about that!

Gorgeous!
I couldn’t even vote in the poll. I’m hoping for better things :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah
Without a poll option “He does what he bloody well said he’ll do”, I have no option but to tell you all about the rain that we’ve been having here. Buckets of it. Every afternoon for a week. It reminds me of monsoon season up north.
Yep, that was my option too. Well said.

Vino and VDS
Pre-doping, Vino was easily one of my top 5 favorite riders. Should I feel bad about adding him to my VDS team?
VDS is a cold-hearted game
Take any advantage you can get.

Honestly, without any joking
I have no problem with people picking (or cheering for) returning dopers. As long as I don’t get to hear any sad lamenting or outburst of disgust at “how cheated I feel” if/when they get popped again.
Kinda OT...
… On seeing this Astana training camp video, I had a serious ‘WTF moment’. Actually, I’m still having a WTF response…
It’s the song, you see. I’ve never heard that cover version before (I’m familiar with the original), and it took a minute for the lyrics to register… like, seriously, what the fuck?! I suspect that someone chose that song without paying attention to the lyrics…
The song is bad-ass. Very popular in Belgium and The Netherlands.
Millow for the one who know..
But I think they did it on purpose. If we’re on the same channel. It’s beautiful on time sometimes. But now I’ve seen the original Hmmmm
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
I dig the cover version
Although it freaks me out slightly ;-). The accoustic guitar intro… then he comes out with that, LOL.
Still.. I can’t see how they could have used it on purpose… did you know that the song was originally ‘Ayo Pornography’, but the record label insisted that it be changed…?
If you want a good time, she's going to give what you want. "When they are all smoothly together."
Contador jumps.
Hey yo I’m tired to use Technology. I need you right in front of me..
You just have to imagine that Vino is singing this.. Quite entertaining.
Different style, different move, Damn I like the way you move
We can switch position!
But I suck in getting lyrics
"Here the high school level of immaturity will be left to hottitude columns and people like myself." Der Phil. H
ROFLMAO
Kinda hard to ignore the line before it, though…
Ayo, I’m tired of using technology, why don’t you sit down on top of me
… and as for imagining Vino singing the other bit… um… well…
Different style, different move, damn I like the way you move
Girl you got me thinking about all the things I’d do to you
Let’s get it poppin’ shorty, we can switch positions
From the couch to the counters in my kitchen
… I’m leaving that one alone, LOL
The *Guttersheilas*?!
I’d like to get all indignant… but I can’t… I’m laughing too hard to pull it off. Touché. It fits – I’ll wear it ;-)
But...
… would that not be lost on folks who do not speak English?
It's the Netherlands
they all speak English! (Which rather begs the question of why they need an ad to learn English, but….)
remember the story of the scorpion and the frog??
It may be a kinder, gentler Vino, but he’s still the scorpion.
George bunny-hopped my bike somehow. He's like a cat. -- cvv
