that's just a bunch of CRAP! They left out Noval as well...
what stage did Horner crash out in the Giro? He raced recently with Levi and armstrong in the states. doesn't make sense.

Saving him for the Vuelta? Still bogus.

Horner was tearing off legs before his Giro crash too.

I would never try to second guess Johan Bruyneel. He made his choices for a reason. If I'm not mistaken Chris Horner cracked a bone in his leg when he crashed in the Giro which may or may not have something to do with him not starting the tour.

I love Horner, but considering he fractured his leg in the Giro, seems reasonable to me, particularly since they've already got Kloeden, Popo, and Zubeldia.
No surprise.
Team is stacked so someone had to be left out of the tour.

. . . given the hammering he was giving everyone in the Giro. Maybe his leg thing was more serious than they let on . . .

From what I've read of possible (unclear) Giro injury/recovery, I guess I can see leaving Horner off.
More puzzling to me is leaving Noval off in favor of Paulinho, Rast and Murayev.
But I'll defer to Bruyneel's and, despite his apparent Twitter "non-mea-colpas" (do we really think for ONE second that LA actually had NO input??? :rolleyes: ) Armstrong's decisions....
The team is stacked in any case.
Wish Basso were riding. :(
