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

[Oldman]

I agree. They should pull him after the first couple pyrennes days so they don't blow him.

You both are correct and he may try for a stage now that Rui is out of GC neighborhood. Makes much sense and probably part of why he slowed in the last stage...rest up for the rest day and then hit it hard.

 

[Wallenquist]

Rest day happiness - easy ride, nap, episode of Fringe, massage and McDonald's. Bring on the last week but please let it be sunny!

He will be fine

 

[Rich Gibson]

Not if you're riding the Tour for training. I think he shut down once he knew Rui wasn't going to make it. Yesterday's stage shouldn't have been a problem for CH until the last 6 km. Wouldn't be surprised if his team also let him approach it that way; they had a guy in the break as well that was in Rui's neighborhood at the finish.

I wondered about that. I saw him go back to Rui to help him and after Rui popped I kinda expected him to go back to the front group but he hung around Rui finishing 20 yards behind him at the finish. Maybe he is 'serving his time' till the Vuelta. If he drops out in the Pyrenees it should confirm he may have more leeway at the Vuelta.

Horner said he felt better today. Although, he sounded like someone who has asthma.

After the weeks of rain they endured I'm surprised they all don't sound like West Virginia coal miners with a two-pack a day cigarette habit. Tough to keep healthy and another + for Nibali, Valverde for persevering.

Pappy in the break tomorrow?

I'm sure any tired member of the GC group would be happy to see him go off; he's no threat. Always depends on the breakaway's makeup.

 

[RiccoDinko]

Pappy will take on the Nairo for the top spot, respect!

Yes, not a bad climb from Pappy in Utah.

Watch this space

TOP 3 would already be pretty good!

Funny how he rolled his eyes when the BMC guy said Cadel is a worthy leader, he got five seconds in the sprint on one of the stages. Even funnier is the answer to the question What are you on? Everything. Of course it's only about treatment for his neverending chest infection.

But he was supposed to carry the flame....lol....retire already old man.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

[Arredondo]

He can even go for a magic four-fold WCC, Milan-Turin, Lombardia and Beijing

 

[gregrowlerson]

Damn...

Wanted to see how he would go in this Vuelta.

But looking on the bright side, there's always Alberto

I’d rather see Horner race than this pistolero guy. No way his appearance in the race is bright :-s

Without Horner the race just got less exciting, however, all the ingredients are there for an awesome race. -Unless the robot wins.

Corrected for you.

It will be even more interesting when Froome will be in top shape.
