I'm sure Vino will make it worth everyone's while. In interviews during the tour he indicated desire to stick around one more year and concentrate on one-day classics. Sounds like a sensible goal. He'll keep us on the edge of our seats.

This is great news for bike fans. He is the king animator at the big races. I love his complete lack of restraint and pure aggression. Viva Vino!!!
