The txapela. Sounds like something Salsa would use for a frame name.

A tight finish at the end of a week of racing is exactly what the Amgen Tour could produce this year with the penultimate stage TT in LA. I can't wait.

Way to go Horner! I watched him win Redlands several times, it is cool to see him get a real chance late in his career.

Pcad, there are no stupid threads only stupid threaders!

Couldn't think of another rider who I would rather have won! Awesome character and form. Love his personality and hope he continues to do some damage!

Ya, I'm psyched. At last Horner stays on his bike till the end of a pro tour race. Hasn't done that in a while. Even better that he won. Horner is such a nice guy that I have felt he spent too much time socializing in the peloton. Which is perhaps one of the reasons that he has crashed so much due to lack of concentration.

More importantly its a great win for a great guy - very happy to see him win it.
