When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

[Samson777]

leave Cobo out of this, he was as clean as that one clean guy on Kelme[/QUOTE] Fuentes..?

 

[the sceptic]

So Cobo was 12% faster two years ago? Interesting...

nah its a reference to when Race Radio said it was a good thing that Froome was 12% slower than Mayo

 

[coinneach]

I think someone is lying, since this is the first time this climb has been used in the vuelta.

The original quote was by the Hog , and we know he never lies

Ah yep. 100% fact with Hoggy.

This thread is in danger of being closed because of people who can't refrain from attacking other posters.

It would be a shame but I'm not going to continue to police threads where multiple people ignore the forum rules. Clean it up.

Radar Hazallinas : Horner 23mn24s, 7,4 km à 9,49%,18,97 km/h ! 6,34 w/kg. Miraculous ! Like Froome, like Braislford said : "exceptional"


What does this translate into an hour effort?

 

[will10]

Can't wait to see Froome and Horner ride away from everyone at next year's Tour, then crash into each other because they're too busy SRM-watching.

I just vomited a little bit in my mouth. But ok because I swallowed it.

The fact the he is 41 troubles me but he has been out injured sitting at home most of the year.

Cookson needs to get this passport business in control. Friggin' joke right there now, today.

 

[BYOP88]

Why is everyone shocked. Chris has been injured for most of the year and therefore hasn't raced alot. Nibs, Valverde etc have all raced alot this year so it makes perfect sense that Horner will be fresher and stronger than them. What we're seeing here is good old fashioned hatred of America!




I;m joking Horner is as dirty as the rest of them

Sad times when you have to say your are joking.

These are sad times we live in! If I hadn't added that think of the reaction the Basso fans

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

LOL.... Horner at 41 is going to win Vuelta. It can´t get worse than this. Not even if Froome would win the TdF by 20 mins next year.
I hope that Horner will be caught finally. It´s beyond absurd. It´s like Bonds and Clemens topping their own game in the 40s to abnormal standards...

Puke

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VqVtBcdK3M&sns=em

Riding away from Nibili and Valverde

Full genius mode.

They need to get Ricco back. He wouldn't stand for this.

 

[brilleaben]

Se horner vince a 42 anni ho ancora delle possibilità di rientrare e forse ( molto probabilmente) vincere

Haha, Riccó great as always. Looking forward to 2024

Beetroot juice is where it's at.

He must have ramped up to the organic, free-range beetroot juice...

Have seen it live today... Nibali gave it all when the gap was 48 seconds. Him, a guy in his best shape, age, and season gained nothing back on a 41 year old Armstrong copy. Could still vomit if my stomach wasn´t empty by now.

Noted.

Speaking of vomit. I think you need to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKqGXeX9LhQ&sns=em

Cameras caught Ricco after watching today's stage.

I believe he makes his thoughts clear.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Can´t watch the vid in our country of freedom (germany)... ok, that´s another case...

What did Ricco say? People here sometimes put his tweets in here, but they forget not many speak italian... Anyway, it´s clear what he thinks. I guess he is mad that some guys are the scapegoats and the real a$$holes like Horner and LA continue their $hit untouched for years.

Ok this might work without restriction... here.

Ricco is Lee Harvey Oswald. It's terrible what happened to him. But his photos from twitter he looks super fit and in good form.

Rocking the Fondo scene.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

blabla... in circles. Repeat: I never said i think Froome is clean. Always said "I don´t know".
Anyway, you see the difference between a 41-yr first time GT winner and a 26-yr old?

Yeah it works. LMAO. That way it looks when i puke when i see Horner in front...

Ricco is saying if Horner can win at 42 then he has the possibility to comeback and win again.

All sarcasm and irony of course.

 

[thehog]

in W/kg terms

(standardized to a Froome size rider)

Horner comes in at 6.2 W/kg (6.2 - 6.3 for full draft - no draft conditions)

Nibali at 6.0 W/kg (6.0 - 6.0)

and

Valverde, Basso, Rodriguez all at 5.9 W/kg (5.9 - 6.0)

Wonder what JV thinks of the 5.9 being smashed apart by a 42 year old guy who's been out injured all year.

Haven't seen that since Lance did his collarbone in 2009

 

[doolols]

i wonder why all the Froome defenders aren't here also defending Horner in this new clean age of pro cycling

Laughing our socks off. Makes a change for someone else to be in the spotlight.

Best comments?

Maybe Sky will sign him? Have him lead Froome with a tailwind up Ventoux in 2014?

They need to get Ricco back. He wouldn't stand for this.

They said on the TV tonight that he only came back from injury a month ago. That's a pretty steep re-training programme to get into this sort of form. For me, it's the age and riding away from some of the best climbers of the era which makes this questionable.
