He also takes a swipe at interval training, which he says he almost never did during his long career as a pro. Not sure why he mentions it or why he doesn't mention that maybe he didn't need intervals because he was training hard for six-plus hours a day back then.

Bonus video for wintertime housebound amusement: Horner's cheerful description of riding himself into the ground as Cadel Evans's right-hand man during the infamous 2006 Tour de France stage where Floyd Landis left everyone in the dust. Snickers and Coke!

That's my all-time favorite race commentary video. Even non-cyclists are likely to be awed.

Edit:

Bonus within bonus: in the Landis video, Horner awkwardly half-admits to doping in his career, using the code word "prepared."
