I'm pretty sure that's what Cancellera said or it may have been the way I chose to interpret it.

I wondered whether he was having a dig too, but then he went on to say that he thought Horner really deserved the win, so I'm not sure.
Who are the commentators? The one guy sounds like he needs to clear his throat the whole time. Its very annoying.
Isn't that his teammate?
Isn't that his teammate?
Yeah, I may well have been transposing my own suspicions on to what he said, he's unlikely to finger a teammate isn't he?
At the very least he's a strange one is Horner. He rides a huge bike, talks likes he's a breathless 17 year old and unlike the self-promoting German bloke, makes no reference to the fact he's the oldest rider in the race. I dunno.

SKy's feed problems at the tdf were due to car problems, whichwere caused when ice stored in the car melted and flooded some part of the car! So they just lost touch with Froome and Porte, of they'd been there feed would have been taken on as normal
Today, he is sounding different...
Gilbert: "I'm really afraid to fall again. I can not take risks, with the World Cup in September. The wound must heal on my knee."
(Then again, when he was sounding optimistic in the morning, he was invisible... so with that logic he might win it it today
)

Horner...? Good result or "not normal"...?
*shrugs*
Can't tell from one result. It was a pretty unusual stage the way it played out, if he rode a clever race, with his experience, he might well have had plenty left by the end, and his timing was superb. If he continues to produce strong performances then that's going to raise eyebrows for sure.

He's 41. He didn't believe that Armstrong cheated. He rides for Radioshack. Many eyebrows were raised a long time ago.
I don't think there's much doubt that Horner was a doper. The question is; is he doping now?
Yeah, like VamP said, it's a pretty flat stage todayOnly 29%

''Nearly 30%'' I heard. Carlton Kirby mentioned 28%, I think, with riders using cassettes with up to 32 teeth. Grim, sounds grim.
They were also descending at 98kmph when they cut to the ads.

Only 29%
Ah, I thought he said 28%. That extra 1% makes all the difference though - I'm out.
