I think RBR ribbing about masters fatties and posers (or poseurs) is going a little too far:
"I was like, I'm not going to take this thing out training. It's totally being a poser. But then I was finally like screw it, I f--king won that race. That was a hard day. I deserve to wear this thing around." -- Chris Wherry from http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/8335.0.html
What's next -- pros not wearing their team stuff at all because it's too conspicuous?
And this is perspective:

Geez, the dude needs some self esteem coaching. He is the last person in the world who should be called a poser after a win like he had in Philly. No gifts. No weird circumstances or weather. He won the race outright, not like some years where the stars and stripes is like the 5th place finisher.
He came to Philly with a dominant team and he made all his team mates hard work pay off. He should sleep with it on for chirssake! :-)

It's only being a poser if you DIDN'T win the race.
But I'm sure there will still be some knob who will mutter "fred" under his breath when he sees that jersey.

He's probably having nightmares for all those times he looked over his shoulder and saw Horner/Pate 7 seconds back. I never saw anyone look over their shoulder so much and still win. But yes, he had a nice win. It's his.

Just last month, some nameless person was suggesting that Horner might be a poser for riding around Sacramento with his bright yellow Saunier Duval kit on:

Anyway, I guess all Horner's Sacto training paid off.
One of the very funniest stories like that I've ever read was by Mike Creed in his Postal kit being called "Lance"(not in a complimentary way) in a NYC BS.
