Indeed. Altough, some Radioshack fan boys may crawl out for this.
I'm a Radioshack fan but I know what is true and what is not.
This is not even doping, this is alien performance. Hopefully team will drop him if they are suspicious like Rasmussen and Rabobank.

9 degrees and very cloudy on Angliru. Nibali better prays for rain. It's his only chance
Exactly my point.
But even with rain he can probably only contain Horner, not beat him

I saw for Gijón and Oviedo, it will be slightly cloudy, and temperatures between 19 and 25 degrees Celsius. |

Nibali lost the Vuelta on the Gallina. Should have attacked earlier, he was stronger there.

Only advantage for Nibali is Radioshack team is very weak. Only climbers are Busche and Kiserlovski. But Horner does not need them anyway. |

So, now please explain me what is the problem with the Horner's preformance. He is just better in shape then the rest, till he got busted on some stuff. And as far as I know, he didn't get caught this Vuelta, so... And of c. it's hard to believe that he can stands right up, but well if you train on that style, well then you will do it as easy as someone else is sitting while climbing. Just another style.

4 second difference between number 1 and number 2 heading into the final three days. This is about as exciting it can get

Yes but standing tall means better way to turn the pedles.

True, altough Horner probably has this, which makes me sad and disgusted at the same time. |

Have you ever been on bicycle? How you can say, that you turn pedals better standing than sitting in saddle?
Die hard fan of Tom Boonen and Quickstep since 2004.

Well, when climbing of course, you can put more power when you stand.

Sprinting up a mountain is not a style. Its EPO.
He is beating guys like Nibali/Valverde/Purito who are best climbers easily and it has more to do than just fatigue.
This guy has constantly defended Armstrong and his ways. For me there was no 2013 Vuelta winner just like TdF 1999-2005. |
