R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to Chris Horner

[movingtarget]

Is that his secret to eternal life?

Human flesh not on the banned list ?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Also what did Cunego done in the last 5 years ?

Wait another 7 years. He´ll be spectacular. I bet we have to open a RESPECT Cunego thread then...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

which, after his 6 giro-vuelta doubles, will be his 14th consecutive gt win (dawg will have retired, so it's horner all the way!). :d

lmao......

Looking forward to see his naked forehead again. It could be hilarious watch Horner drop Contador in the Volta ao Algarve.

 

[the sceptic]

Horner is a gift sent from god, to stop the skybot dominance.

 

[Guybrush]

Papy is on business

 

[Master50]

Quite pleased to see the old guy with a contract. Great news and glad we will see him race another year.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Papy is on business

looks quite fit. Hopefully he has kept the big macs at a minimum (or if it is proven to be his source of power, at a maximum)

Nice showing by Horner on the mountain finish in T-A today, TOP10/11" down on Bertie and Quintana. He's still got it!

 

[Granville57]

I cannot recall but does Chris wear gloves?

Depending on the weather, generally, no.

That's long been one of his trademark "things" (which I whole-heartedly support ).


Btw, here is probably the least dramatic conclusion to a bio ever written of a pro cyclist. Ever!

Horner currently rides for UCI ProTeam Lampre-Merida. He finished tenth overall at the 2010 Tour de France and won the 2013 Vuelta a España.

Since when does the hands-down highlight of one's career become something more akin to a footnote? WTF?

 

[Jelantik]

he wasn't bad today. So he is clearly on track for his Giro..

 

[Old School]

Looking forward to see his naked forehead again. It could be hilarious watch Horner drop Contador in the Volta ao Algarve.

Only if the race doesn't matter.

 

[Sykhrzon]

Wow dude, you're butthurt and bitter. An angry, old, frustrated man.

 

[Pippo_San]

Papy's gonna be on fire as soon as the real mountains kick in!

 

[RiccoDinko]

Can't wait, Papi schooling kids on the Vallter.

lol. again out for most of the year and thend estroyign the vuelta being the most fresh. except this year he will face there a fresh henao

 

[staubsauger]

****.

He was the big Giro favorite for sure, as everyone knows he's the best climber of the world

 

[BYOP88]

I bet FoxyBrown111 (sorry if I got the name wrong) will be gutted! He's sucha fan of Horner always rooting for him

 

[ILovecycling]

I dont like him,but this is really terrible.I feel sorry for him.
Good luck Chris!

Way to be a ******. Even if you dont like the rider an accident of that magnitude is pretty bad. What a ****.

 

[webvan]

Poor guy, hopefully a punctured lung isn't as bad as it sounds...

 

[Jspear]

Of course this is terrible, but this is why most big teams didn't want to sign him. He is a high risk rider. I know he probably couldn't have done anything to make things different, but he'll take longer to recover because of his age. Even before this terrible incident he was dropping out of races with injuries. Hopefully he recovers quickly and well. Look's like he'll just be doing the Vuelta.

It's also a shame for him financially, as I think he had a contract that was somewhat incentive-based.
