With his win on Stage 4 of the Tour of California, Chris Horner is the new overall race leader. It literally couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! A reliable support rider for favorites such as Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer, Chris is regularly seen greeting fans right after a big race. His wins at the Tour de Basque and 10th place finish at the Tour de France last year are individual career highlights. At age 39, he is one of the senior members of the peloton, and today he certainly proved he has the legs not only to keep up with the younger fellows, but to beat them.
Last season, Chris wrote a thoughtful blog on key races, giving fans a detailed play-by-play and true picture of his view of the road. He has started up again with the Tour of California this year, so check it out: http://www.cascadegranfondo.com/blog.
