Chris Horner Interview re: US Pro Nationals, Vuelta, Lombardia

In 2010, Chris has had his best season ever with 10th overall and best American at the Tour de France, winning the Tour of the Basque Country, 4th overall at the Amgen Tour of CA, and three top 10 placings in the spring classics - including 7th at La Flèche Wallonne and 8th at Lìege-Bastogne-Lìege (a race he told me earlier this year was one of the most beautiful races in the world).


While he was traveling to Sacramento to participate in a cycling festival ride @clarkscornerca, I got the chance to talk with Chris about the upcoming National Road Championships in Greenville, SC on Sunday, Sept 19, RadioShack not being invited to the Tour of Spain, and his prospects for participation in the Giro di Lombardia on Oct 16 - the last Monument of the road cycling season.


I apologize for the audio quality - I had some very bad feedback when I asked Chris questions, so I had to re-record the questions after the fact and drop them into the audio - so you might notice that in the recording.
