Ryo Hazuki said:To me he is a GT contender if he improves his itt which has become one of his weaknesses in the last few years. Horner is physically an abnormal talent and he has always been that. when he dominated the us scene and made a 2nd career in europe I think he saw what potential he still had. last years giro he rode excellently in the high mountains until he fell out. it was also an eye opener to him I'm sure.
his other problem is that he crashes alot and has many injury's which has kept him of 3 week races most of the time.
