The leaders had already come through when a moto approached me and said, "Get your camera ready - one hell of a shot is coming your way" , I readied.
30 seconds later, the form of a rider appeared up the road. Wait. A rider? Two riders? What the hell is that thing? As the form approached, I began to realize that Chris Horner was actually giving someone a ride on the back of his bike. Uphill. To the finish. After busting ass to help Levi for 70 some-odd miles.
Apparently, Billy Demong from Team American R.A.D.D./AGEL crashed with 2k to go, bike and body completely thrashed, and Horner stopped and said, "Hey dude, get on." and then rode them both up the hill to the finish.
I wasn’t really a huge Horner fan before this but I am now. What a class act!!
