Bronchitis medication means low cortisol values and lampre is keeping him out. :(
-
Noooooooooooooooooo! :'(
I don't know anything about cortisol. How does low cortisol effect you?
-
Aww that's too bad.
Read an interview with him a couple of days ago where he said he thought his form was actually BETTER than last year at this time. He was just worried about getting healthy.
-
Poor Horner.
-
That sucks. I was hoping to see him defend.

Horner took a 6 hour training ride to console himself -- while journalists waited...and waited...and waited. :lambie:
He's looking at the Canadian races coming up.

They race bikes in Canada? :confused:

Only if the snow melts.
I suppose that's why Svein Tuft rides for an Australian team.

I was talking to a co-worker about Svein today. Turns out said co-worker raced against Svein BITD when Svein raced locally.
-
Very cool. Any stories?

Sorry. Nothing specific. He just said Svein was something special - totally outclassed the peloton. It really puts it into context when a guy like Svein who blew away the local competition is a domestique on the grand tours.

From what I've read Tuft is an entirely different breed from most cyclists.
Just in case you haven't seen any of them. http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/07/news/the-oldest-tour-rookie-of-the-modern-era-svein-tuft-is-a-rider-like-no-other_293692 (http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/07/news/the-oldest-tour-rookie-of-the-modern-era-svein-tuft-is-a-rider-like-no-other_293692)

And since this started with a Horner thread -- his contract with Lampre is still up in the air. That's understandable since he spend so much of this year injured and then sick and then excluded from the Vuelta. I hope he gets a contract because that's not a great way to end a career.

Ha. Svein is very BC - not that we all ride 1000 miles towing dogs to go mountain climbing, but I've met people like him around here.
I hope Chris gets another contract and gets to go out on a high note.
