Having met the bloke, I can tell you I was instantly turned off by the waif after a 44th placing at the Lancaster Wachovia Series and shrugging off my "atta boy." nonetheless, I have come to respect the American that is so feared on the domestic circuit. While being bounced around European teams like a set of 404's in a CSC van, he has managed to find some humility in an otherwise testosterone laden sport.
Horner is actually making less money in Europe than he did with Webcor all for the dream of completing a Tour de France. Well he did just that and is coming back this year as a domestique supporting Cadel Evans. The man simply has nothing to lose and watch for some very surprising performances this July. I'll pin the boy with a top 25 placing this year. That prediction hopefully will hold water as my Ullrich prognostication is falling apart faster than T-Mobile itself.
The only last thing that Horner will have to clear up will be where the hell are the rest of his shorts?
