Can anyone explain why Chris Horner rode with him.
Thanks.
Och cleared it for George with the SKY boss before the stage started... I don't know what arrangement Horner had.
I'll say though, that this was a LAME retirement gesture. When Eki did it, he sprinted ahead until he got a good gap, then he sat up and saluted the crowd and waited for the peloton to catch back to him. George and Chris just looked like they were making a pretend attack and it didn't work.
