At age 42, Chris Horner may be the only top American cyclist from the Armstrong Era untouched by doping scandals. I took this photo following the Ultimate Challenge/Snowbird Stage of the Tour of Utah in 2012. Here is an excerpt from the VN interview.
“I still feel fast. And that’s all that matters. Do I get out of bed sore? Of course I do. But that’s irrelevant. All that matters is when you’re on the bike, you feel good. And in all honestly, the bike is the only place I do feel good. It’s the only place where I’m actually comfortable and at home and in a relaxed place mentally and physically,” Horner said. “The rest of the day, you’re always going to have a sore back that you’re dealing with different times during the year, a sore knee. … You always have those kind of things, but when I’m on the bike it’s where I feel the most comfortable and at ease, mentally and physically. So I’m not looking to leave the sport any time soon.”
