Kazakhstan’s cyclist Aleksandr Vinokourov is ready to sell his Olympic gold-winning bicycle for $50,000, Tengrinews.kz reports. “The bright red bicycle showed up against the grey London’s background during the race. I decided to auction it out. The starting prize for this Olympic gold-winning bicycle is $50,000. I think, our friends in Astana and Almaty will participate in the auction. The more money we get, the more money we’ll transfer to orphanages,” Olympic champion said at a press-conference in Astana. Vinokourov won the gold medal of the men's Olympic road race. The Kazakhstan cyclist announced his retirement shortly after the spectacular victory.
