To paraphrase, he said he was surprised and that the Vuelta "often throws up surprises". That he felt really good on the stage and that he was hoping to make time on his competition but when Horner accelerated he was simply too strong. Far too strong. I think Valverde's summation was very similar, saying that Horner was simply so much stronger than all of the others.
A pretty fair question would be if Horner were that incredibly strong, why was he dropped on all the big cols of the Tour last year and why has he not got a Trek contract given that they must have all of his physiological data?
