CYCLING TO 42 YEARS CHRIS HORNER wins a stage of the Vuelta AND WEAR THE SHIRT RED LEADER
Records are made to be broken but the Mirador de Vigo-Lobeira, the third stage of the Vuelta a España, it could be a fraction destined to remain long in a hypothetical Guinness Book of World Records cycling: with its 41 years and 308 days Christopher Horner became the oldest runner ever to win a stage win and the overall championship lead in one of the three major stage races, the Giro, Tour and Vuelta. The previous record holder was even Pino Cerami and you have to go back 50 years in the Tour de France in 1963, the Italian-Belgian rider managed to win the ninth stage at 41 years and 95 days and 7 months younger than Horner. a>
Chris Horner was born on October 23, 1971 in Okinawa, Japan, but grew up and resides (when it is in Europe for racing) Oregon: for a little over a month Jens Voigt takes away the possibility of being the runner World Tour with less young German, in addition to the jersey of RadioShack, also shares an endless passion for cycling and the desire to never stop: Voigt has a contract with the Trek for 2014, Horner is currently in the maturity of contract but his intention is to go on and on, do not know for how much, and this exploit in the Vuelta might make things easier things.
