Lets go Andy! Let's finish two races in a row! Seriously, I'm hoping for the best--too much talent to see it squandered and my selfish reason is I want a completely stacked Tour this year.

Cimber said:I have been after Andy a lot the last 2 years, but with his current form and mental fragility I think its pretty gutsy start TA knowing he will get spanked hard by guys he would normally compare himself to. I like that move. Shows some balls. Hope he completes the race and turns things around for the better

In Oman, he snubbed the race and hid,” Nibali said. “When he did show himself, it was to help Froome. I can’t do what he did: my instinct always pushes me to invent something. I’m not capable of staying still.
jaylew said:Horner's not a bad TTer at all. Of course this is his 1st race of the year so who knows where his form is.
In Cali he had allergies, plus he didin't want to go to the US, and Dauphiné, as everybody knows, is a training race just before the Tour.theyoungest said:Lol, yeah he certainly showed that in California and the Dauphiné last year.

Didn't stop Wiggo from winning itcineteq said:In Cali he had allergies, plus he didin't want to go to the US, and Dauphiné, as everybody knows, is a training race just before the Tour.
He just ended up in 1st place, as nobody else wasn't really interested in winning it.Netserk said:Didn't stop Wiggo from winning it

Angliru said:Just getting in the race miles and building his form is what's important. He obviously can't and won't do that by training on his own. I hope he completes the race too.
Carols said:Andy finishing and not getting dropped to badly should be all that is expected of him.
However what are the Team aspirations here???? Stages vs. GC I guess. Because if they tow Andy in the TTT all GC chance might be gone for Horner. If they drop Andy could he be outside the time limit and they are 1 man down?
Guess they are just looking to get a stage or so by someone (not Andy) and get some form for riders?
