Hello, I'm Chris Horner; I was a pro cyclist for over 20 years. Throughout my career I've participated in countless races and won many of them. The biggest achievement of my career came in 2013 at La Vuelta a España when, at the age of 41, I became both the oldest and only American to ever win the Grand Tour. Now my days of racing are for the most part behind me: however, I remain in the cycling world as a commentator for NBC Sports. Now I'm hoping to bring my many years of experience in racing to KZread, so I will have a platform to share some unique stories and helpful tips to a large audience of both up and coming amateur riders and hobby riders alike!

Thx 4 shrewd analysis on road Pro-Races. Mister Tim wasn't a CX rider 4 nothin'. The reason why Belgians are the masters of cycling
Do you think that right now Primoz Roglic is clasping his hands in excitement because he thinks he has a good shot at winning the tour de France?
Disappointing ... no knuckleheads today? What about Trek's 2 lead-out cyclists in the last 1km?
So pleased to see team Tudor performing so well at the Giro. They showed up this year and have been on my radar at a bunch of important races and in some great placement at a really high level of cycling.
Arensman did switch bikes when he flatted, your own screen shot shows him on the #8 bike when he's getting pulled back.
Tim was free welling so much in the last 5km, when he saw the lead out guys with question marks faces he thinked fast cause he knew where milan was, pulled all the way to the right just in the start of his sprint so nobody could take a draft, he had the Royal Flush here! it was really an amazing win. As always thaks chris and garret, giro would not be the same whitout you guys, greetings from brazil <3
INEOS were knuckleheads today.
Agreed. They needed to stay upright and have Thomas & Arensman finish in the main group. Not sure what else they were riding for.
I think Alaphilippe was trying to slow the peleton so his guys could catch up and/or gain position.
Is Caleb still racing?
Why would Ineos keep riders back to support Arensman (6th in GC) when they have Geraint in 3rd spot? Doesn't make sense. I think you're over analyzing things, Chris.
If cycling spints were run like track (with lane lines) Milan would win every race
Love the coverage, dude! Thank you!
Appreciatively watch every race day but really enjoyed the analysis of this sprint finish
Why didn't you call Julian a knucklehead. Just joking, love your stuff, thanks Chris. 😂😂❤❤
Trentin would have been value for UAE if they have had kept him.
Love your show
Knucklehead count: 0!
Enjoyed Lopez sprint with Milan for the laugh. C. Swifty changed bikes with Thymen (listened to him on Ineos X feed post stage).
Nice summary. I wondered where Jonny Milan was at around 300 metres.
Shame they couldn’t get a hash brown
The last km left me very confused with all the chaos, but I didn't bother because I knew tonight Chris would dissect everything to me.
Just when you thought Chris's arrow game couldn't get any sharper... Brilliant. Back it up!
Hey Chris, what's with the motorcycles with 2 front wheels? I've never seen one here, only in European bike races. What brand are they?
Chris: You stitch back and forth with the progression of the story best in class, Chapeau
Still can't believe that Milan NEARLY got up~ He's a monster!!!😮 Love all the crazy details u can find in an otherwise uneventful stage, Chris!😂 Milan is a beast~and u'r the BEST!!!👍🦋
Milan is for sure. The amount power he puts into the pedals and the length of time he can use energy is very impressive. Today I very much liked how calm he looked even while way out position. Never did he panic and start getting reckless like we have seen many times with other sprinters. 🤔💪🦋👊🙏
Arensman did switch bikes with Connor Swift. The Eurosport commentators mentioned it in their coverage. The bike he was riding at 6:05 in this video has a #8 tag on it.
and Narvaez dropped back to help him back to the peloton after the bike switch…
Chris - amazing tactical analysis as always. Pog has the Giro won barring an injury. Given Pogi’s form, can anyone seriously challenge him in July at TdF?
Yes. The TdF will be great. Who wins is anyone’s guess out of the top four favs. Pog, Jonas, and Roglic are the hot favorites but I will throw Remco in there also because there something he was showing at the Basque Country, before the crash happen. Unfortunately after the crash we never got to see it because the harder stages were still come. But I saw glimmer of something in Remco there that looked like he went to another level. 🤔🦋👊💪💪💪💪
To me these tours remind me of playing chess while sitting on two skinny tires while going at breakneck speeds
Exactly 🦋👊
And while hypoxic!
Two Door Cycling :)
Two door 🚪🚪😂👊🦋
Why would Five Guys stop at McDonalds?
They earned a good lunch. 😜🦋👊
Because they wanted to see a chick-fil-a burger king.
McCafé ride? 😏
Because it was only quick In&Out delay.
Thanks Chris thanks Garrett for all your time and work on the show
👊🦋
attak from julian tomorow ! chris notice the burger shop ! attention to the race chris.millan the monster missed out today .poggy in a sofa drinking strawberry milk ,pozzo surviving ,thomas just sucking wheel ! bravo tim , merci to the butterfly effect team 🦋 njoylife
👍🦋🔥
".....I cant do it!" 🤣🤣😆😆😂😂 - you should make that a t-shirt! I really hope Thomas falls off of the podium to O'Conner. I get the feeling Bardet is not well liked by his teammates or others in the peloton.
Pog is on 🔥
I took the left at Albuquerque
↖️⬅️👊🦋
Tomorrow Pogacar in the breakaway 😎
😜🦋👊
🚴😀
Going to guess by the Title ... Chris will be calling a ton of Knucklehead riders.
Not even one I called a knucklehead today. There was some but I didn’t call them out. 😂🦋👊
Tudor deserve the Palm d'Or I guess
Love an early 🦋 video!!! 👏
Nothing happened until 25k to go. 😂👊🦋🧸
@@ChrisHornerCycling and then it got pretty interesting... for a little while I thought those Lidl Trek guys might lead everyone out EXCEPT Milan LOL 🤣
Lets gooo! I think you held back on calling some of these guys knuckleheads today.
Bjerg and Julian for pulling in the front with no teammates behind them. For sure. 😂👊🦋🏆🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Ineos hasn't had a plan since Rod Ellingworth left.... INEOS is more interested in their shinny new soccer toy...
Who else thinks pogi could have won it if he'd wanted it
what do you think about wout saying after today's tour of norway stage that hes still struggling and he also feels discomfort after training. he had crashes out 10 days earlier than vingegaard, so that means that jonas is probably having difficulties as well. how much does it affect his preparations for the tour and his overall tdf form?
I totally understand your advice that Tadej conserve energy to go for the Giro-Tour double, but even following that prescription, his chances of winning the Tour are not 100% (of course). And rather than joining a group of seven career riders to achieve that, wouldn't it perhaps be better to try to (1) join the more elite THREE career riders to have stage wins in all three Grand Tours in the same year and perhaps get the most or second-most stage win among the then group of four; and (2) (a) ensure jumping ahead of Roglic in number of Grand Tour stage wins AHEAD of this year's TdF to perhaps gain a psychological advantage; and (2) (b) aim for a career ending in like fifth place, ahead of Hinault, in total number of Grand Tour stage wins? I do agree with you that le Tour is the pinnacle of achievement for those in the European peloton. And Tadej could possibly get a record number of TdF wins (and most Grand Tour wins). I'm just saying that Tadej could (and perhaps should) be pursuing OTHER goals for the record books, and number of stage wins perhaps should be one he goes for--I definitely think that beating Hinault to take fifth in most Grand Tour stage wins--if he started focusing on this now--would be more achievable for Pogacar than beating Hinault in TdF victories. (And this from someone who hates that Tadej makes winning stage wins look so easy...)
No riders, no plan!
Take a look at Uno-x with a disaster mistake in stage 1 of Tour of Norway. Great tactics...
Hey Chris I enjoy the strategy. I would also like to understand the role of the domestics. What do they do. How important are they to winning. What is the difference between a team lead and a super domestic and when to change roles.
G is done. He just hasnt found the power this Giro. It happens at the top end with these pros. I suspect G is not recovering on a daily basis. Podium is an achievement in itself but G must be feeling pretty crappy.
Sometimes I think small or depleted teams like DSM will jump on the front and pull for a while just to get some tv exposure for their sponsors.
I said the same thing yesterday watching. Actually it looked like only EF or Trek had any sort of plan. I say it again, if Tadja wasn't in the race it would make for a much more exciting and competitive event. Never get tired of watching the Giro even if just for the scenery.
I guess everyone expected there would be no real fight for GC unless something bad happens. But the way Pogi rides everyone off his wheel without even trying that hard is scary
