What is it about Italian that just doesn't translate well?According to Johaan Bruyneel's Discovery of the year, Ivan Basso, Oscar Periero is the "moral winner" of the 2006 Tour de France. The Spaniard finished second to Bad Boy Floyd Landis, who is accused doping following his incredible Stage 17 victory.
Says somebody translating Basso: "For me, Pereiro is the moral winner. But still I hope that everything expires good for both Landis and Pereiro. But that is impossible."
No wonder there is so much confusion in professional cycling!
And you would think that Oscar would get the occasional cycling magazine cover, wouldn't you?
