I had no idea this happened until I checked cyclingnews.com today. I think it's a good move, but he's not getting any younger. I'd really like to see how he does in the Giro next year.

What do you guys think?

I think for Horner riding in Europe is now or never.

Great! I would love to see more Americans riding the Giro. It's definitely something to look forward to for next year.

The guy still has a few matches to burn-anyone know what Saunier has said about him? I assume he's going to become their chief GC guy, but who there is going to support him (don't say Tim Johnson). Anyone else read his interview in Road?

Saunier Duval didn't waste any time.

Horner finished 50th (with the ST as the winner, Erik Dekker) in the Paris-Tours race on Sunday. He'll be at the Tour of Lombardy this weekend, as well.

Don’t forget Beloki, he was down this year, but give him one more to see if he can come back.

Horner rode in Saunier colours at Paris-Tour, go to grahamwatson.com for the pics. I hope his move to Spain works better for him than his nightmare stint at Francaise des Jeux.
