Amazed at the hate toward this guy
Ok. Assuming he is doping, yet you’re taking up for contador?
Like he hasn’t doped? Like he hasn’t been caught ?
Even when he he wasn’t suspended there still were allegations
Either hate them all for doping or stfu
Problem isnt that Lance doped (in this context) the problem is he is a bully. That's why folks were easy to pull against him.
Horner tested positive for low levels of cortisol so... go ask lance.
Now it’s Jumbo juice
@@RB..1And the Pogi juice
Chris is sucking up to Lance SO HARD here!
Alberto was right. Chris was wrong to blame him for this. There are only two people to blame and they are #1-Johan and #1-Lance
Chris is da bomb! I never get tired of hearing his commentary. He is also the most positive, nicest guy you’ll ever meet or ride with........which is also how he can pull off always speaking his mind. That and his ability to see all the angles so clearly. My favorite all-time commentator in any sport. I spent many years towards the end of his career hoping he would become a commentator when he retired from professional cycling. Yay👏👏👏
Years later we know the truth here: LA was watching and if Horner said anything other than what he did here (probably scripted), it would've been career ending.
totally scripted, only thing hurt was Bruyneel and Armstrong's 'PLAN' fuckin dogshit
Alberto was the team leader, Lance should be working for him not the other way round? Lance, come on, you're not as good as you used to be, let someone else take the limelight?
No they are not - he is so matey with Lance he cannot see the truth about him. Alberto was right to go for the yellow jersey as he was the best in the team. Lance was not as good as he but he could not bear to admit to it. The trouble-maker was Armstrong - he was Twittering and making trouble. he likes to intimidate - this is why it has taken so long for USADA to get his old team-mates to own up about EPO abuse etc.
Amazing the amount of control Lance had over all American riders.... Like reading off a script. It's not like Contador went crazy and decided to go against the team, he knew Johan and Lance where gonna try and screw him over first chance they got. A lot of politics in cycling. Reminds me a bit of Hinault and Lemond when they where having their fight in 86
EXACTLY.
talking rubbish horner. armstrong came back after 4 years out, displayed no form in the giro. contador was always going to be the strongest and armstrong did his best to undermine him. if they werent working for armstrong then why was kloden babysitting him upto verbier?
Were you in the Team? Train with them In the Pro Tour. If not then you are talking rubbish.😅😅😅
@@daisyseptimus561 it’s well known that before one stage Armstrong made the team bus leave the hotel without Contador and that he had to get a lift to the start line with the caisse d’epargne team
Ur big liar oldies , Lance was envy Contador because he knows he was not srong as Contador and it was Lance who makes bad atmospher inside the team , so stop lying
Contador was King in 2009! The infighting made for an interesting tour that year!
Horner speaks so so well.
Best interview in pro sports!
Chazzz, you assume Astana was a "normal" team, It was clear JB and LA had isolated Contador within the team with the all the politics and mind games to favor lance. How many times did USPS try to get more than one guy on the podium? that podium sweep thing was a sham....
Hind sight is 20 20 horner is no straight shooter he claims to be. What a hiprocrite!!!
This Astana 123 could never happen with Andy and frank Shleck's perssistent presence.
And, if, Andy, wouldnt have slowed down the pace for Frank to join him and AC duo,
Lance would not be on the podium in the Champs
And as he declared in the begining , he would gladly let the stronger man win.
So mission acomplished.
Whats interesting is that Lance came back to Astana and no other team. Is that because his buddy Bryuneel managed the team or because Trek was there sponsor? Also when Lance was leading US postal and Discovery who else would have been able to go for the yellow jersey on either of those squads? However he comes to Astana after a 3+ year hiatus and no theres going to be a 3 or 4 leaders on the same team? Crazy! Lance had no intentions of helping the teams current leader Contador! Wake up people!
CH is being too subjective here. Agree with Chazz. Survivorship that’s real life. Lance and allies attacked Alberto in the crosswinds, Alberto retaliate by attacking and establish himself as leader. CH is not telling the whole story here.
I also seem to remember Ullrich waiting for Armstrong when he could have won the tour in 03 and Lance had the nerve to say to Charlie Rose that Jan seemed to be going at race tempo. Armstrong has a history of manipulating and bullying his way around the peloton - like when jan attacked in 04 and he ordered csc to chase him down - then at the finish line he wanted everyone to obey so that Landis could get the stage win. I respect the guy for all he's been through but he can still be a prick.
Rim brakes!
Rim brakes ftw
No pedals
😆
Is there no getting away from you?
yes, this was American sourgrapes at its worst. Alberto crushed lance. Recall - Lance stole away on the early wind-swept stage without a bye or leave. But when Alberto did his characterisitic attacks on the slopes and won leadership of the team, lance was jealous. Horner of course is a mate of Lance and is still biased enough to think Lance did it all without PHD. Poor old Horner. he forgets too lance was Twittering and fomenting trouble in the team himself. What an arrogant big-head he is.
Alberto Contador 2-0 Lance Armstrong
Y'know what I mean ...
Chazz, you keep assuming Astana was a "normal" team. Yes, under normal circumstances, Contador may have been "wrong"
But this was not a normal team, it was a dysfunctional one. You had "team lance", and then Contador and Paulinho. I can undertand why people would side with lance (they want a radio shack contract, etc) . But still, it was clear that Contador was being alienated in the team, so the "loyalty" of AC to Astana was gone.
Also, not attacking doesnt equal helping
Horner and Armstrong were such good buds gee wizz. So close infact they used to share syringes
But now Froome doesn't share his dope with anybody. Sky Team delivers for each of them.
Lance has his hand up Chris’s rear end here……moving Chris’s mouth for him.
Hating that he ruined it for kløden..
If they pick him, he’ll say they choose by merit. If not, it’s politics😂
Amazing level of honesty😮
I’m not well up on all the drama that was going on but it’s cool to see it aired out in public like this😂
Absolutely agree with Horner!
I'm amazed by the views of some Americans, not only here, but all over the net and in the media. Contador was by far the best rider. And no; just because Lance used to win he is not a shoe-in for leadership. Claiming so is both arrogant and ignorant.
How can there be no questions of Chris Horner winning the Vuelta when he comes from his bosom buddy Lance Armstrong team...same team (astana) Just stinks...!!
Alberto is not riding like a leader.... but he is going to win the TdF? Well that is all a leader is supposed to do....
Horner you wrong
I think your name doesn't give you objectivity here.
In my opinion Chris Horner was the most respectful and classiest cyclist in the whole peloton while he was racing and remains a great role model for anyone out there. 👍🏻💪🏻
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 ...
Yeah of course his determination was off the charts - that's one of the things I genuinely admire about the bully.
However I'm saying if Ullrich had just focused himself more like he did for 03 then Armstrong I don't think would have won seven - but hey that's Ullrich's fault - he's only got himself to blame.
Hey Chris... don't be surprised if Alberto won't invite you for Thanksgiving Dinners anytime soon :)
lool, Guess how many tours Contador had Horner?
@ChrisHorner is awesome. Never afraid to speak his mind, give an opinion.
Vamos Alberto....
O resto é treta destes cowboys...siga para bingo!!!
The ugliest kit in the history of cycling to match the ugliest Tour ever ridden.
He's just jealous that AC has a full head of hair and he doesn't!
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.
So awesome, Lance was no longer the boss.
wow cavendish is not cocky at all. he just says the truth. he is the fastest sprinter in the whole peleton. and kloden is good enough to win the tour but he decides to help out other people like ullrich
Since this is pre-Lance Oprah nothing is relevant.
@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..
The Pinky and THE BRAIN BRAIN BRAIN BRAIN.....
Haters gonna hate
Thanks Google IA! Been watching Chris’ vlog almost each day for a while now. Same guy, 20lbs heavier, he said it!
Chris Horner PROFESSIONAL cyclist is right!
I just lost a load of respect for Horner...
If you look up the definition of "Gentleman" in the dictionary, you'll find Chris Horner listed there
@kvgjyfr honey, I live in "Europe".
Don't whine; Win.
Philly '16: How to put a chain back in place, by Horner.
@eirepol73 Solid critique. I am so looking forward to the 2010 TDF!
Il est sur le jus
Pot meet kettle!!!!
great contribution to cycling Chris. Keep it up.
3 years later and where is Horner........
@hugolmafer too bad Andy Schleck is gonna win pal.
Lance le ba a ganar a Alberto en 2010
This aged well.
@@JosesAmazingWorlds lol
@@laetrille 🤣🍻
Chris Horner is just an honest great guy, you guys are wrong about him.
Chazzz, We have seen other times when a leader wasnt declared, with the same tension as a result (Vino and Ullrich,
Lemond/Hinault)
I understand that from a logical view, doing this 2-3 man leader thing works, but when you throw in human emotions, it can backfire.
What you see as Contador disobeying was actually him going paranoid over the toxic atmosphere in the team created by LA and JBs relationship.
Kloden was not his teamate as far as Contador was concerned, he was LA's only
@eirepol73 Very informative comments--thanks! IMO this year's Tour will be one of the most anticipated ever.
I think it's clear that contador was the strongest rider in last year's tour and Lance was clearly not going to waltz in and automatically reclaim the number one spot. HOWEVER, I also think it was clear that after it became obvious that contador was the best chance for yellow, armstrong worked his tail off for the young spaniard. Alberto, for his part, was incredibly ungrateful and seemed to continue to view his own teammates as enemies. That's where I have a problem.
i want to see LA win!
No quiero ver contandor ganar otra vez, prefiero que Sastre gane si Lance no puede ganar...
I agree...why did people dislike this
Lance Armstrong is without a doubt the great athlete that has ever existed and i cant wait to see the world of pain Contador is going to go through just to try and get on the deice .,., the is a reason why this great man has Won 7 Tour De France so hang on as we are about to see number 8
Well, that didn't age well lol...........
@@joesutherland2017 😂
...and Harvey Weinstein is not only the Best Director, but a Wonderful Human Being
Was this actually Phil Liggett?
@gaizkabebe schleck's still going to win, ARMstrong is 23rd. contador wouldn't be in yellow if not for a mechanical problem.
@grtas1 and If the queen had balls she'd be king, and the King laughed, cause he had two...!
