    Chris Horner gives a ride to the finish.

    Someone posted this on our LBS listserv and I thought it was pretty neat.

    Chris Horner helps Levi all day, and then gives a ride to another cyclist who had crashed 2K from the finish and wrecked his bike.

    Cool..

    That's two things.

    One, an example of extraordinary sportsmanship!

    Two, it ought to put paid to anyone posting here wondering whether a lightweight racing frame and/or wheels will support their weight

    That is great sportsmanship, and a truly impressive feat of strength to boot. Chris Horner just gained another fan.
