I wonder if Frank's comments earlier, not wanting to be the 'captain' has to do with the inclusion of Horner :rolleyes:

if it is then he is who we thought he was, a pu$$y

Are there a chance that RS, aka "the sponsor", asked politely if they could have an american.

I was thinking the same thing. Shack and Trek both american companies and no americano on the team. :eek:
 
I'm glad Horner's in. He's a good interview, a very good rider and a guy who can animate the race. The Tour is better with him than without him.

I find his take on Armstrong borderline hysterical, but I can't help but like the guy anyway. Fun rider.

Agree with this 100%.

Agree with the Horner part but hopefully now Jacob can leave this team and get his chance to be a leader somewhere else.ummm Greenedge/Orice maybe?I know its not realistic but one can hope yeah?(heard rumors he will be back with Bjarne soon enough)

The problem with Fuglsang is, I think, simply that he's not that... good. I mean sure, he can handle the smaller one-week races like the one he just won, but when did he ever perform in a more competitive setting?

This story just gets more and more ridiculous. :eek:

Does anyone with greater historical knowledge of cycling than me know if there has ever been such a ridiculous mismanagement/general meltdown of a team ever before?

Castorama 1991 was not bad either, Fignon and Guimard no longer being on talking terms.

As much as I like Horner, his best performance at le Tour was a 9th place 2 years ago (better than that a 15th back in 2007).
