Nice article, trying to explain some of the basics of bike racing to the unfamiliar sports fan.
Unfortunately, it was posted at 5:30 PM on a Wednesday, and apparently most people who read Grantland check the website while at work.
That was a very good article and the side piece about Horner carrying the crashed rider home was new to me but consistent with my view of Chris's great heart.

Thanks for the post.
