King Boonen said:Only person to beat Sky "the super dopers" procycling at their own game, twice, walked a massively difficult Giro making everyone else look like a chump and almost doubles up with a second GT at the Vuelta, only getting beaten because a fresh doper is quicker than a tired doper. Yet hardly gets a mention in here from people who claim they just want to discuss doping performances, not attack certain riders. That was funny. He'll close the show with a standing ovation if he wins the world's.

Key words there, the most.

bigloco said:I don't think I've seen a bike race since Schleck dropped his chain and Contador subsequently dropped him. I haven't been serious about watching any racing since the aftermath of Landis in the 2006 tour and his "whiskey fueled" charge up the Joux-Plane.
I was once a fan, but disgust with the sport has left me indifferent.
(Edit: Per my posting history, I apparently watched some races last year, but I'll freely admit, I had blocked them out of my memory. The rest of the post stands)
So why does today find me posting here?
I mistakenly clicked the cycling tab while searching for football scores.
And my jaw dropped. Then I laughed. Really, really laughed.
"Horner makes History with Vuelta Win"
I literally stared at that headline for about 30 seconds as it was inconceivable to me.
And then I instantly came here to the clinic.
So Horner gets my vote and I think his win is marvelous. Armstrong had his hubris, Landis had his insanity, but Horner? Horner takes audacity to a new level. He's almost Longoesque!
I'd probably come back to the sport if they got rid of the drugs. And by getting rid of the drugs, I mean just stop testing for them. Who cares. Have some tests to make sure Hematocrit isn't at 70 and T/E ratios aren't 20:1...whatever values ensure that riders aren't keeling over half-way up Ventoux.
Ignorance really is blissful.
I'll crawl back under my rock.

Porte on Ax-3 deserves a shout, as well.
classicomano said:I was gonna say Horner but looking at the season as a whole I must say it was the dodgy old 30 something spaniards who peaked the entire season. Especially from the Tour and onwards. Tour > Vuelta > WC > Lombardia. Without skipping a beat.
Ridiculous.
He takes my vote as well. LA would be turning in his grave when he heard that.bigloco said:"Horner makes History with Vuelta Win"
