Really, Archaea? Is there a reason that you posted a link to a Greek website?

Those better in Spanish can provide a good translation, but he sounds snippy here.

Respuesta: Son muchas cosas las que se me han pasado por la cabeza en los últimos 25 días y no es fácil a veces asumir decisiones de otras personas, acatarlas y sobre todo vivir con ellas. Eso termina cansando mucho, y más cuando vienes de ganar una carrera como el Tour y cuando has dedicado tu vida al resto del mundo. Cuando te dedicas a ti mismo eso ya no le gusta a otras personas, entonces eso machaca mucho y te agota psicológicamente.

The last sentence he kinda sounds like he's saying, "hey, I've worked really hard dude, and if you dedicate yourself..."

He sounds pissed that somebody would asked if he's resigned to taking only third place.

Does Sastre even speak Spanish, he's Italian as best I know.

Here he's scathing.

P. Por lo tanto su cansancio es de cabeza más que de piernas.

R. Si estuviera mal físicamente no estaría tercero. Hay que ser realista. Hay una persona que ha hecho daño y ha dividido al equipo desde el principio. Lo sigue haciendo daño y esa persona no ha querido que este equipo hiciera nada en la Vuelta a España, su intención ha sido esa, ha hecho daño a todo el mundo. En su conciencia está. No tengo ninguna queja del equipo, ni de los compañeros, han hecho todo lo posible, has estado en las escapadas. Se superan muchas cosas pero falta que la persona que tiene que empujar empuje de verdad . Esa persona, lejos de empujar, lo que ha hecho ha sido apartar.

P. ¿Se está refiriendo al director del equipo, Bjarne Riis?

R: El es el máximo dirigente del equipo, ¿no?

mena's a pronoun? since when? Where are you reading that? Again I'm just reading it and I get the idea he's pissed at Rijs and he's only going to focus upon the Tour de France.

No it's simply a translation of the feminine word, la persona, so the pronoun relates to the word, not the actual gender of the person referred to.

They translate the Era of Contador, as the Era of the Accountant.

THis is what I meant:

There is a person who has made damage and has divided to the equipment from the beginning. She continues it making damageand that person has not wanted that this equipment did nothing in the Return to Spain, her intention has been that, has made damage to everybody. In its conscience it is. I do not have any complaint of the equipment, nor of the companions, have done all the possible one, you have been in the escapes. Many things but lack are surpassed that the person whom it has to really push push. That person, far from pushing, which has done has been to separate. P. Is talking about the director of the equipment, Bjarne Riis? R: He is the maximum leader of the equipment, no?

[Archaea]

It's because it's referring to "la persona", and the pronoun is consistent with the feminine noun even though the person is actually male. As best I understand Spanish, and I'm a plebeian in this language, it's simply proper grammar and a place where the online
translators suck.
