Chris Horner isn't scared of TT bars. TT bars are scared
of Chris Horner.

Chris Horner doesn't go hunting. Chris Horner goes killing.
Once a snake bit Chris Horner's leg. After five days of
terrible pain, the snake died.
When the Bogeyman goes to sleep at night, he checks
his closet for Chris Horner.

Choice of riders too hopeless in GC for their teams to bother with TT
bikes everywhere.
Interesting. He too third on that gear. I can only assume the reported
wet, slippery dust was a key factor in the TT, and drove Horner's gear
choice.

It just goes to show that time trial bikes are not the answer in every
TT. I don't know the course, but I imagine that played in to the
choice. He has the goofy helmet and skin suite on. I also noticed (in
another photo) that he didn't have fancy wheels either (and I'm sure
they could have kitted him up with those had he requested). I suspect
windy conditions and a technical course. I mean, it's a prologue, how
much time will a TT bike really yield in a few kilos?
Tell me Rasmussen wishes he hadn't simply ridden a normal road bike in
the TdF a couple of years back?
