Chris Horner has opinions. This week, a news story he read on Cyclingnews caused the retired Grand Tour champion to sound off on his YouTube channel about former Soudal-QuickStep team manager Patrick Lefevere, saying he was a "knucklehead" who had wasted seven years in the development of Remco Evenepoel, now with rival outfit Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe.
Horner was humoured by Lefevere's grudge against Red Bull's team boss Ralph Denk for buying out the Belgian's contract early before his Soudal-QuickStep contract expired. He referred to the Cyclingnews story on Lefevere's comments from a Radio Peloton podcast that he "filed a complaint with the UCI" about Denk and summed up his feelings towards the Red Bull manager with a succinct "I hate him."
