Lol!!Completely messed up there. Stupid me. :D I was confused at first...I'm looking at your post thinking I didn't say that. :eek:

Sure, course you did... Don't be so modest you did a good ride yesterday. Best rest up now for eh. What the hell's a Manassas anyway? Could've made up a more convincing place :p

He's got a far better early palmares for GT's than the two Sky riders who will end up winning a GT.

You mean DekkerT and VinoAE rode with Sky? When and where? :eek:
Anyway, to the point where you are wrong for sure: Both of them have the same GT record as no-Contract-Horner had in their age: Zero. Zilch.

So they are both on perfect schedule to win their GTs at age 45, battling it out vs 60+ Chris.

P.S.: How old will Swift be by then? Enough time for him to transform? Could be an awesome 4-men-battle. I see it coming...

He'll get the leftovers of Quintana, Aru and Kelderman

That`s pretty much the way i am reading it. There is no doubt about it Swift has improved but the likes of Quintana, Aru and Kelderman will mug him on the climbs and nick his lunch money.
