  1. Horner seems to think that he can be a motivator in the Tour. He has
    demonstrated, at least to me, on several occassions when I've seen him in
    big races that he is not someone who makes gratuitous claims. Here's hoping
    that he gets a chance to make it good in the Tour. He isn't a spring chicken
    and he doesn't have a lot of chances coming to him.

  2. I hope Horner is able to make a mark in this tour. This guy can ride a
    bike. I like his attitude. He believes in himself and that is a big part
    of racing. You must be willing to take a risk. There are enough pack
    fillers, we need people that will take a chance. Hopefully he has the form
    to do something in the hills.

    I do believe that Lance will win #7 but I would like to see Vinokourov and
    Jan do a little tag teaming in the mountains to see if they can put some
    pressure on the Discovery Boys. I dont think Lance will crack but I would
    like see the favorites TRY to do something this year.

    I have said this before and I will say it again. Jan will not win the tour
    ever again he doesn't have it. The next winner that is not named Lance will
    be Alexander Vinokourov.

    The Tour has not even started yet for Horner.......
    Stage 9-15 is his chance.

    You must've enjoyed today's stage. T-Mo did what they needed to, sending off
    Vino and Kloden and Jan looking jumpy until Lance and the pack let Kloden get
    away. Now he too far back to be a threat for this stage, but he moved up enough
    that next time or the time after that they'll have to chase him down. Then with
    three serious threats to work with T-Mo can try to pound Lance and the rest of
    the field down.

    Could well be. That'll be something the TMobile guys work out among themselves.
    If they work together and work hard and smart It'll be hard to prevent one of
    them from taking it this year. Can they work that well as a team?

    Looked good today. Finished with the big dog pack at 00:27 and moved
    up 37 places on gc from yesterday. Is a mountain stage win an
    attainable goal for him, as in Tour de Suisse?

    Motivator ? Does that mean he's contemplating a career change to sport
    psychology. Perhaps he can do some work on Jan.

    I thought racing (you know, the Derby). He already has that whinney smile!

    I reckon that Jens Voight could make a good go of horse racing, just on
    spec.
