I think RBR ribbing about masters fatties and posers (or poseurs) is
going a little too far:

"I was like, I'm not going to take this thing out training. It's
totally being a poser. But then I was finally like screw it, I f--king
won that race. That was a hard day. I deserve to wear this thing
around." -- Chris Wherry from
http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/8335.0.html

What's next -- pros not wearing their team stuff at all because it's
too conspicuous?

And this is perspective:

"[C]ome on, man, at the end of the day, it's just bicycle racing. We're
not solving the world's problems here, are we? We might be actually
creating problems, creating traffic jams and stuff like that, so who
knows?" -- Floyd Landis from

Geez, the dude needs some self esteem coaching. He is the last person
in the world who should be called a poser after a win like he had in
Philly. No gifts. No weird circumstances or weather. He won the race
outright, not like some years where the stars and stripes is like the
5th place finisher.

He came to Philly with a dominant team and he made all his team mates
hard work pay off. He should sleep with it on for chirssake! :-)

Agreed. That one really menas something and he worked his ass off to
get it. Wear it and be damn proud of it.

It's only being a poser if you DIDN'T win the race.

But I'm sure there will still be some knob who will mutter "fred"
under his breath when he sees that jersey.

He's probably having nightmares for all those times he looked over his
shoulder and saw Horner/Pate 7 seconds back. I never saw anyone look
over their shoulder so much and still win. But yes, he had a nice win.
It's his.

Just last month, some nameless person was suggesting that Horner
might be a poser for riding around Sacramento with his bright yellow
Saunier Duval kit on:

Anyway, I guess all Horner's Sacto training paid off.

One of the very funniest stories like that I've ever read was by Mike
Creed in his Postal kit being called "Lance"(not in a complimentary
way) in a NYC BS.

Too funny.
