[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Yeah but what would have his rank been if he hadn't blown 5+ (7?) minutes when he stayed with Armstrong on the way up to Avoriaz?

About the same, considering he gained time in a breakaway.

Yeah but what would have his rank been if he hadn't blown 10+ (11'45", I looked it up) minutes when he stayed with Armstrong on the way up to Avoriaz?

He didn't lose that much time. He was freed to ride the final climb and lost 4.05

 

[Angliru]

Yeah, should be good fun to have him, let's see what the second best climber in the world can do in the absence of the best climber in the world. I guess Andy's the third ;-)

Let me correct you. According to Airstream, Andy is in an entirely different universe when it comes to climbing compared to his rivals.

Sorry for the confusion on Horner's time, he in fact lost 6'33" in Avoriaz but how far back was he when he was freed to leave Armstrong? Presumably he could have stayed with the favorites that day.

But yes, he gained 6'45" in that breakaway with Armstrong in Pau, so it cancels that gap.

Yeh, what a waist of good form. Horner at 6:33 gained just shy of 7 minutes on the deflated Armstrong at 13:26 on the Avoriaz.

Is Popovych shacks answer to Benjamin Noval? A guy who is not good enough to get in on his own, but gets selected because of connections?

All signs point to yes.

Lemond Hinault La Vie Claire

No way was La Vie Claire any where near as bad.

besides being a first class domestique and a Tour de France stage winner? No, the answer is just no.

ditty

Little Chris Horner
Sat in the corner,
Eating American pie;
He climbed up a hill,
Without taking a pill,
And said 'What a Wonderboy am I!

I edited it for you. Nice poem

Thats from an oooooold interview. I am certain he is much happier with the team today.

How NOT to influence people and make new friends. If Jakob isn't careful he may find himself sitting at home for the remainder of the year.

The article is from today. But it does sound like something he could have said months ago.

Nah, he's just stating the obvious.

 

[Boeing]

can't wait for Horner to throw down some intra-team and or peloton smack talk once the race gets going. he is capable of getting inside some of the leaders heads for sure if not just frank.

Actually it's from yesterday's

[trevim]

I think Fugslang is the most displeased rider on this selection. I mean, Bruynnel talks about the need of results to be qualified for the Tour and then he doesn't take the only rider that has won something. Popovych?!

OK.. Yeah, this was published yesterday http://www.sporten.dk/cykling/fuglsang-jeg-burde-vaere-med

Still, quite a bit of a difference between "oooooold news" and yesterday's news I'd say

 

[roundabout]

Tour de France stage winner how many years ago? What has he done since about 2009?

And him being a first class domestique is debatable. Second class at best. And that's on a good day.
