'I think lance would've got the yellow jersey if i was there'. Sounds like an arrogant little prick!!.

Indeed...

Alberto Contador is definitely an arrogant little prick! ;-)

Armstrong was so lucky that Ullrich was such a lazy bastard cos if Ullrich had continued to race like he did in the 97 tour they would have would been some damn close races and Lance definitely wouldn't have won seven of them.

Part of Lance's greatness is his discipline and hunger to win. When it comes to the Tour De France, only Eddy Merckx's rivals Lance in these 2 areas.

Lance a bully??? LoL! Hardly. The only times Lance ever bullied people has been with his talent on the course during a race. In that respect he's absolutely punished his competitors. In the same breath one has to admit lance has always been a great sportsman. I still remember quite vividly the 2001 TDFwhen Ullrich crashed and Lance would not increase the gap on Jan but waited for him. Quite a difference from "Mr. Pistolero" who attacked his team mates twice during the race this year.

The 1st time Contador attacked Lance and others who had been riding tempo during the mountain stage was shameful. The 2nd time when he attacked Kloden was shameful AND stupid...

What are Horner talking about? Lance helped Contador? Lance didn't do shit, and none of the teammates where there for him, contador won almost on his own. Contador could have won by a bigger margin if he wanted to. Go Contador, lets see what Lance will cry about this tour

[folklore2]

I just lost a load of respect for Horner...

@ChaZZZy007 Do you know Simeoni ?

So many layer's to Chris' hypocrisy here. He's the denouncing his team leader for not being a team player. Oh the irony. Horner didn't get picked for the Tour team and he's annoyed; a team player keeps that to himself. Not Chris, he bitches about Contador. It's like a second string offensive lineman trash talking his QB. "Team" to Horner means "Lance" not Astana. He wanted to be there to help Lance. The final irony is that all the while Lance and Bruyneel had already set up their own new team.

@kvgjyfr not being offensive but i disagree to some extent..although he comes across as arrogant it kind of just shows that the inter team feud and saying that he would have helped armstrong more so than the team now which focus on contador..

[errbud]

I like Horner and think the level he's riding at today is inspiring but I totally disagree with him. AC had no loyalty from the team the participation in the cross wind break was shameful so you get back what you give ...

[FattyUllrich]

personally I think that Horner is a little b*tch. Contador simply attacks whoever he wants because he CAN. If he was back in the day of Pantani/Lance on Ventoux, and doped to 60% HcT like they were, he would drop their asses.

[60sisthashit]

lol, Horner was obviously jealous here...

Contador TdF*3>Chris Horner ToC

Lance is an old man, as is Horner. These guys have had their day, it's someone elses day now.

[ryanchandler25]

I'm not understanding the beef here. So what Lance didn't get the yellow jersey. If he did get the yellow jersey, he would not have held onto it. Contador was the stronger rider, not Lance. You can hardly fault Contador for attacking Lance. He was the star of the team, the top dog in the sport. What? Was he supposed to take a back seat because Lance decided to come back from retirement.

Chris Horner is just an honest great guy, you guys are wrong about him.
