Looks like adding Horner to the team wasn't enough to get them an invite to the Tour of Cal this year. Cycling is such a gamblers sport for sponsors. |

Was it the doping whispers? Otherwise that is just wrong. Cali is a perfect Tour for a colorful, telegenic American (Horner) to take a stage or more. |

I was reading a recent issue of VeloNews the other day while eating breakfast. I started to read an article about Chris Horner, thinking it was a few pages. Wow! I stopped and had to finish it a different day I think was like 8 pages. He is a complex fellow. He might have burned a few too many bridges in the past. I always liked his interviews. He would make a good color commentator. Sooner or later it's time to retire. |

They’ve obviously done harm to the race by not bringing me LOL.....I think the ToC will be just fine without you, Chris. |

ha ha ha CK, totally, really like the guy, but seems to be a bit of an egomaniac with that statement. He's one of the old guard, and when a decent cyclist, but not a seriously gifted cyclist wins a Grand Tour so late in his career, it does not look good, and only adds to the speculation surrounding him, plus maybe too many ties to LA, Leipheimer, Astana, etc.........? |

how can he help the youngsters if they do not let him in the race!! I saw that VN article. That was an interesting connect-the-dots study of his career. |
