A sector Vino is good at. Designing nat champ kits. 🇮🇹 2017 of Aru (2x📷) was classy. The same can be expected for Simone Velasco as well.
Simone Velasco attributes Italian Championship victory to support from daughter: "Knowing that she was there upon arrival certainly gave me a few more watts"

Speaking after taking the biggest win of his career so far at the Italian National Championships, an emotional Simone Velasco attributed his powerful final sprint to the support he has received from his daughter.
“I was aware of the good form, I had already understood it during the time trial," Velasco, who finished fourth in the individual time-trial of the Italian National Championships told Spazio Ciclismo post-race. "I knew I had to stay calm and so it was. Calmness is the virtue of the strong. You have to dare when you have to, not always, but when it's time. We did this today and everything went perfectly."
The 27-year-old sprinted to victory from a group of six riders that included some supposedly faster men, such as Matteo Trentin. "This shirt is a dream come true for me. I knew I could play it and in the final I felt that my legs were still good enough to try," he explains. “I couldn't ask for anything better, winning in front of my daughter. Knowing that she was there upon arrival certainly gave me a few more watts and I was able to give even more than was within my possibilities."
“I also wanted to make a dedication to many people who were close to me and are no longer here: my friend Giulio who always followed me, but also our masseur Umberto Inselvini," Velasco concludes. "A thought also for Gino Mäder, a colleague who left us doing this job we love."

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
