Hugh Januss said:And over a course that was very light in TT's and extremely heavy in Mt top finishes. One 30K flat TT and Horner would still be 1:30 back and we probably wouldn't be having as much of this talk.

gustienordic said:It would be completely different if he were 32, if he sat in his saddle from time to time, and if he wasn't racing against some of the best climbers in the world on the steep stuff. Purito/Valverde are potentially the best when it comes to the ultra steep.
Some would argue that he only was freak level while on Kelme.ChewbaccaD said:Valvpiti is and always has been a freak show of doping, so be careful of the markers you use for your argument.

If you beleive Sky started the Arms Race, you must beleive Radioshack was clean in 2011,
But you don't beleive Brunyeel was claen, but you just want to be angry with Sky, its what Orwell called doublespeak, NK beckons for you, you could be a star there
He'd have been up there with Levi at least if he was full genius in '07. I think Puerto made him a wanted man.ChewbaccaD said:That's just ridiculous.
Juan Speeder said:Spot on.
Here's something I have data on. In the state in which I live and race xc mtb, the two fastest guys are both 41, and I'm one of them. Myself and the other contender have battled back and forth for over the last 15 years and yet no young, up-and-comer has ever come close to our performance.
41 isn't old and I've not seen a drop in my performance due to my age.
I fully accept Chris Horner's performance as legit.
Fearless Greg Lemond said:
Please, Chris is FU@KING 41.
ChewbaccaD said:Dude, I used to get like 8 or 9 boners per day...now that's like maybe 8 or 9 per week in my mid-40's...performance declines in real people man, please help me out here, and ease my mind...you can't still have an 18 year old boner level.
No accident. I had to convey my righteous wrath and frustration.Netserk said:Accidentally hitting caps?
ChewbaccaD said:Yep, I think the 2014 Tour de France just got interesting...
I just hope some other mutant shows up to kick Porte's a$$ in the Giro...If dopers gonna' dope, I hope it's not that d-bag who wins

Hugh Januss said:If by that you mean he legitimately doped to beat a bunch of other dopers then I totally agree.
Scott SoCal said:Help me out here... you saying Horner's on Viagra?
Juan Speeder said:No. I mean that he was well rested, well trained, and was the best athlete at the event.
If you feel the way you do, then why would you even pay attention to the sport?
I don't get folks like you.

lemoogle said:Sure, yet this does not correlate to Horner in anyway.
are you peaking at 41? No.
A 41 year old is beating some of the top EPO times of an era he RODE in , of an era he was young and healthy and if we believe what, let's be honest, EVERYONE is saying, an era where everyone was doping ( let's assume horner too, he did ride for lance and saunier duval so noone will complain ) .
Are we suggesting horner got clean, got old, trained hard for marginal gains, then suddenly became one of the top climbers in the world ( top 3 if we believe this vuelta)
ChewbaccaD said:No, I'm saying my penis will not get erect as many times per week as it once did.
