Cant believe Lampre signed Horner.

 

I knew they were desperate but C'mon Horner!

 

On the bright side he's the only pro I picture riding a Merida.

Think they've got Horner at real discount so late in the transfer season.

Strategically, I reckon that he'll be domestique to Costa and Scarpo'.

Strategically, I reckon that he'll be domestique to Costa and Scarpo implicated in a doping scandal before the start of the Giro, and go for an early retirement...

Horner to Lampre Merida, wonder if Costa will like this?

 

Horner not exactly to Lampre yet:

 

Lampre-Merida manager Brent Copeland has downplayed speculation linking his team with Chris Horner, explaining that the Vuelta a España winner’s agent, Baden Cooke, has offered his services to a number of teams in the past week.

“Horner’s new agent, Baden Cooke, called me to propose the signing of his rider,” Copeland told Tuttobici. “We’re not the only ones who were contacted. Cooke has recently taken over as Chris’ representative and is going around the teams again, he’s opening up contacts.”

Copeland explained that he has brought Cooke’s proposal before Giuseppe Saronni - who is now responsible for managing relationships with the team's sponsors - and the team owners, but that nothing concrete has been decided.

“After Cooke’s phone call, I spoke with Saronni and our ownership, inviting them to reflect on this opportunity,” Copeland said. “Things are as I’ve told you: there was phone contact and we’re assessing it, but we’re certainly not the only team in this situation.”

Like I said, maybe a spot for grandpa Horner at BMC now? Domestique for Evans?

I find it so ironic that victory in a grand tour immediately elevates you to most hater rider in the world

 

Gotta love the sport

That's not it. I never liked Horner. There's not many in Lance's corner that I do like.

Nice, rock.

Yeah, classic Bianchi look.

Nice to see them in the mix again.

I see sky is riding the Stages power meters over SRM systems.

 

Saw that and I was surprised, money obviously talks.

Those Pinas are heavy.

Maybe a weight advantage.

 

It'll surely popularize the Stages brand.
