Don't take this the wrong way Rayvon, but you are either trolling, naive or you haven't read the thread until this evening. Either way it might be a good idea to get a feel for the way the other posters on here are thinking rather than assuming we are all a-hooting and a-hollering for Little Jack,

soooo, has anyone else noticed that horner is poised to win the red, white and, if he dominates stage 20, the blue jerseys??? how awesome would that be? i was going to celebrate with cava, but all of sudden budweiser seems more appropriate.
Not taken the wrong way, Golden rule never assume, Hopefully testing should pull anyone for drugs but right now i'm just enjoying the cycling.

What ? You have to go along with everyone elses opinion or not post ? If we did that we'd all be team Sky fans with a semi for Froome. Everyone's views are valid surely ?
Of course not.
All views are welcome. You have missed my point but hey ho,
It's between Nibali, Valverde and Purito. In my mind, I have disqualified Horner already.

I think that his Nibs has saved it all for today. Being a few seconds behind Horner will not be important in terms of time lost or gained today. It will be blown apart and i think Purito and Valvrde will have a crack too.
Have to admit that i thought GC would be over by now with his Nibs being several minutes to the good. Turning out quite different.
Don't know how i feel about Horner and his rise to become the Vuelta's super mountain goat. It seems not to sit well but......
If he gets caught doping then i hope he shares a cell in hell with Armstrong, for eternity. If not though i think we should try and take it at face value and give the benefit of the doubt. Someone cannot be branded as guilty unless they have been found guilty.
I am still hoping that Nibbers is going to open up a can of 'old guy thwarter' and put 30 seconds into Horner in the last few Km's.
Or even better, Purito goes away from everyone on the last ramp and takes back 2 minutes +, putting him in the Red.

Heh! Well if you're driving just make sure you microdose the Bud, in case you get tested like

Pena Cabarga. Nibali "I can’t climb at 500 watts. I was going at 430 watts and that guy accelerated. What could I do?"
From this I deduce...
1. Nibali is not saving himself
2. Horner is...well I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions.
Nibali is reputedly 64.5Kg which makes even his 430 watts over 6.5 watts per kilo. We don't have information on how long he was at 430 watts but the fact that Horner was able to accelerate at that sort of power output is very indicative.
