Vino’s ride yesterday was one of the finest things I’ve ever seen in sport, plus Sherwin’s commentary about the howling crowd on the mountaintop proving the media’s claim that “cycling is dead”.

I admire these riders more than any atheletes in any other sport. Their training and conditioning is just unbelievable. I hope the “doping” thing goes away. It is too good a sport to be ruined as many other sports have been by drugs.
When are the allegations going to begin over Vino doing so poorly on Stage 14 and then coming back to win Stage 15 decisively ala Floyd Landis last year?
