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.
THis is what I meant:

Quote:
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?

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.

Wow, this statement is an understatement:

Quote:
No estará en un acontecimiento que pude poner un broche de oro a una temporada del ciclismo español que ya es histórica y que puede serlo más si se encadenan victorias en el Giro, el Tour, en los Juegos Olímpicos, la Vuelta y el Mundial.
Spanish riders will have won all three grand tours, the olympic gold and a chance at the World Championships. We are now in the Spanish Era of Cycling.
