Talk:Óscar Pereiro

message: This has been changed twice recently. I'm not in a position to decide which it is, but I imagine some consensus must exist for which "nationality" to use. Privong 02:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: From the horse's mouth: . In Spanish "oscar" is stressed in the last sillable, thus it carries no tilde at all. And, in any case, he himself does NOT put a tilde on his website. Jclerman 23:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Óscar se pronuncia en España siempre con el acento en la primera sílaba, no en la última. Por tanto, debe llevar tilde. En su página web unas veces aparece con tilde (por ejemplo en "sobre Óscar" y "foros Óscar" en el menu de la página de inicio) y otras sin ella, sin duda por error. En casi todas las wikipedias aparece con tilde, incluidas la española y la gallega (él es gallego). Lasai 21:14, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Further to his name discussions, shouldn't we refer to him as just Pereiro, not Pereiro Sio? (See Iberian naming customs} Mk3severo 12:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems odd to me to have the season information go in reverse-chronological order while the tour de france finish information goes in chronological order. Is anyone opposed to changing one or the other so they're in the same order? Privong 21:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeh, how weird. I don't know which way is better, but have at least made it consistent. Mk3severo 21:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi I am new to Wiki so not quite sure how to go about things. I don't want to mess up what others have been doing by editing incorrectly. 
Anyway the section on the "selling" of the stage on the Tour de France I think  needs to be amplified.  Pereiro thought that Hicapie was offering to sell him the stage , which he agreed to . Hincapie was in fact offering to buy the stage. In the end they both tried to win and when Hincapie won Pereiro was annoyed with him . Hincapie paid up however. The explanation in Spanish under the video actually says  ' Oscar Pereiro recounts on EL Tiempo Juego de Cope ( the radio programme he was speaking on} how he had intended to buy , in 2005, the 15th stage of the Tour de France but a there was a misunderstanding with George Hincapie, who offered Pereiro to buy the stage from Pereiro  but Pereiro thought that the offer was to sell the stage to him , Pereiro, Pereiro accepted but Hincapie won to the astonishment of Pereiro. The day afterwards after being mocked by Armstrong Pereiro got into the breakaway and won the stage." Here is a link to an article from 2016 in English reporting on a further discussion by Pereiro on TV on the same incident.  https://deadspin.com/that-time-two-cyclists-tried-to-fix-a-tour-de-france-st-1777608185  and another from El Pais which is probably the source article https://elpais.com/deportes/2016/05/12/actualidad/1463056895_966181.html
The same section in the George Hincapie article will also need to be amended for consistency.
Incidentally , it may be me , but the video at the link given doesn't seem to work anymore.
