Janse Van Rensburg 20th at two and a bit minutes!

 

Good job!

Not bad for a sprinter on a mountain top finish. He has also had two top 10 finishes in sprint finishes. Decent first grand tour for him.

It is way beyond the norms in the history of cycling.

Hmmm...

 

Yup, I said it before somewhere but LA had a great saying "Its not normal".

AND he broke the record up the climb, ( but only has one previous top 10 finish in a grand tour before this ). Interesting that he waited till 42 to start breaking climbing records. Is it a coincedence that he blasts away not long after a rest day?

 

How naïve must one be to belive this BS?

 

Did he really? I didn't know, that but thats very impressive indeed.

 

Gilberto Simoni would have been impressed, may have even called it an "Extraterrestrial" achievement, and coming from a climber of Simoni's palmares, it would be an honor .

Maybe Horner can be a threat to Froome Doawg in le Tour next year.

Pena Cabarga

2013:5,9 km@9,3%---16:42---average speed 21.20 km/h(Chris Horner)

2011:5,9 km@9,3%---17:15---average speed 20.52 km/h(Chris Froome)

2010:5,9 km@9,3%---17:01---average speed 20.80 km/h(Joaquim Rodriguez) - prev record

 

So he climbs faster than Froome

(rant off. At least he gives hope to all athletes in their late 30s - the right supplements can help you reach your athletic peak in your 40s!)

Yippeee :clap: There's hope for me at last!!! :clap:

Agh suurtiete, enjoy the competition

 

I think it's gr8 that an ou ballie is klapping the rest of the troepe.

 

While its not the norm it's definitely not impossible either, anyway it's still early days and he hasn't won it yet

What ever Horner is doing it's working for him. If he is doping it will come out eventually. If he win's it good for him and I hope he is clean. He does'nt have a contract as yet for next year as I understand. I am hoping though that Nibali takes the jersey back tomorrow. It's far from over.
