Horner: "It was nice, it was beautiful," he said, adding that he did not really mind that he was caught so close to the finish line. "It was a spectacular day and I'll take it."
Horner did have one complaint. He accused a member of the breakaway, Carlos da Cruz, a Frenchman with fdj.com, of not having done his share of work after the group's lead reached a maximum of 9:20.
While that should have assured that the pursuing pack, led by McEwen's team to set up the sprint, would not usually have caught the five fugitives, their lead dropped steadily.
Da Cruz, Horner charged, deliberately slowed the pace, although why he would do that was another mystery.
In anger, when the Frenchman tried to speed off alone with 20 kilometers to go, Horner threw a water bottle at him.
A judge noticed that infraction and Horner was fined 200 Swiss francs, or $154 and change. That payday he envisions better come real soon.
You have to start coaching him again, he seems satisfied with exposure when I think he's capable of so much more. My wife was damn near crying when he stopped pedaling with 500 meters to go:
Despite being so near to a career-best result, he was surprisingly upbeat at the finish. "It has not been a disappointment, just to be here at the Tour is great," he cheerfully told Belgian TV1. "Like I said, I thought we would get caught sooner. To make it that far was spectacular and to be so close...I've seen it happen many times to other riders and I knew it would happen to me, sooner or later. Unfortunately it had to come at the Tour. But it was a spectacular day, so I will take it."

That was a good move by horner...that's the way he's got to ride if he's going to pull one off.
Its too bad that the stage wasn't a bit harder so that the sprinter's teams might have been a bit less inclined to chase.
Burt. Do you even work?
Yeah, in front of my computer all day.
You think it takes more than 20 seconds to check a website and type some bullshit?
Scott Zwizanski is king of all you East Coast bitches.....bow down to him

Way to be aggressive. DaCruz was DaChump.
