Perhaps experiencing another round of frustration over his lack of a new contract, Vuelta a Espana winner Chris Horner unleashed a second twitter rant. From 1am to 2am Tuesday, the nearly 42 year old rider sent out a dozen tweets from his account.
What? They hire that kid Matthew Busche — isn’t that a beer? #ridiculous
Laurent Didier? Really? Is that guy gonna help Andy win the Tour in the mountains? #ridiculous
I even told the Schleck bros I’d go fishing with them in the off-season! #ridiculous
I’m almost 42 and I can ride another 10 years!!!! #ridiculous
I’m a physiological freak of nature — just ask Allen Lim. #ridiculous
What — they give 41 year old Voigt a contract and not me? I’m funnier than Voigt and I win more races. #ridiculous
I wish Johan was still around — then I wouldn’t have this contract BS. #ridiculous
Do I really have to sign for some French team? Non, non, non! #ridiculous
I could wear a wig. I said I would. So I don’t look so old and decrepit. #ridiculous
I won the freakin’ Vuelta! Did Lance or Lemond do that? I should be rolling in fat stacks! #ridiculous
I think he might have had a few Matthew Busche’s prior to tweeting, but he is funny.
Mike, hey, I made those tweets up but yes, Horner is a funny guy. Still doesn’t have a team either. We gotta catch up. Matt
