Maybe instead of riding 600 miles this week, he should have scouted out a McD's pre race meal. 50th place? Wow! crit pro |

Are you sure you have raced bikes before? I think your onto somthing maybe crit pro has never raced a bike before and is really one of those groupie chicks that was steaking out Horner's hotel in Philly last year. She must be ****ed cause he shot her down. |

Wow! crit pro Idtiot, He did his job. He was not the designated sprinter for his team. Are you sure you have raced bikes before? He did his job?? The manager of the team stated that he would have the freedom to race as the TEAM LEADER! 50th place.....Hell, I could do that. But my $3-5k a month in US criterium prize money prevents me from even thinking about it. from VN.com: (Chris Horner's wish to return to the European peloton came true sooner than expected. Moments after crossing the finish line in Verona's world championships, Horner told VeloNews he was hoping to sign a contract with the Spanish team Saunier Duval as soon as that night. He even joked he wanted to stay in Europe and race in the season's final two World Cups. "I'd love [them to] slap me on some colors and go ahead and do Paris-Tours and Lombardia," Horner said. Well, it appears that's just what's going to happen. The deal is signed and Horner is set to debut with Saunier Duval at Paris-Tours on Oct. 10 and race in the World Cup finale at Giro di Lombardia on Oct. 16 as well. "We worked out the deal with Chris and he said he was interested in staying here and racing the final World Cups, so we agreed," Saunier Duval team manager Joxean Fernández told VeloNews. "He said he has the form and we're interested in seeing him race." Fernández made it very clear Horner will have the chance to race as a team leader. "If Chris gives everything to be ready to race, he will have the entire backing of the team," Fernández said. "Chris will have the opportunity ride as a leader of the team, but he has to demonstrate that he's fit, he's prepared and he's ready. This is a perfect team for a rider like Chris. Everyone gets a chance to win." Horner has made no secret of his desire to return to Europe. The 32-year-old raced with Française des Jeux (now FDJeux.com) from 1997-99, but wasn't terribly satisfied with his first European experience.) Well, I'd say that he is well on his way to not being terribly satisfied with his second European experience. Not like shooting fish in a US barrel, is it dumbass? crit pro |

Wow! crit pro Paris Tours is not a race for Chris Horner. It's too easy. He's never going to contest a 50-up Euro sprint. Lombardy will be interesting, however. |

Wow! crit pro Idtiot, He did his job. He was not the designated sprinter for his team. Are you sure you have raced bikes before? He was also the only one of his team to make the lead group. Francisco Ventoso finished 4 minutes back and the others all abandoned. -Sonarrat. |

But my $3-5k a month in US criterium prize money prevents me from even thinking about it. Yes there is more money in exhibition racing than real racing. But the reason you don't do it is because you can't and no one would ask you to. Your statement above tells me you are lazy and since you are making a few grand a month you think your big time. Sorry your not. You are making the kind of money average Euro pros made 20 years ago. It is people like you that give EPO a home. You can make an OK wage and you don't really need to work at it. |

Wow! crit pro Horner said he did lots of miles that week so he would be better-prepared for the race he had a chance to do well in the following week, not the sprinter's race he did last Sunday. Basic stuff. -WG |
