Chris Horner is “The Man”
Chris Horner is riding for Team Astana this year, and thus wasn’t invited to participate in Le Tour. Instead, the team spent the last weekend competing at the Cascade Cycling Classic. The classic moment of the event came when Horner had finished his team-duty of sheparding Levi Leipheimer over the last climb of the day.
A rider from another team had crashed, and his bike was not rideable. Horner gave his competitor and his bicycle a ride to the finish line. Class act!
The complete article from Velonews.
As reported in “The Everyday Athlete“, the “lift” was 2 kilometers long, and uphill.
