Watching Vinokourov have relatively free reign in this Tour was a good bit of entertainment for the fans and a nice pad to his impressive palmares resume.
That guys attacks then attacks some more. He doesn't know how to give up. No way was he going to win the ultimate stage in Paris yet he held of the sprinters almost single-handedly. He held off Team Gerolsteiner all on his own easily getting the 6-second bonus over Levi moving him to within 100 milliseconds of 5th place at the time. Then he steals Stage 21 out from under McEwen's nose. BRAVO. One of the best final stages in years.
The sponsor who lands Vino for 2006 is going to get some serious TV and press time.

Certainly ups the value of his stock.

Gotta get him a jersey that fits better, tho. Shows the sponsor name better.
I think Vino could win on the right team. He is very powerful and really was on his own. Finishing 5th with no team is pretty impressive.
