Chris Horner joins NBC's Tour de France broadcast team

'I have to be good, and I have to enjoy it' 2013 Vuelta winner tells Cyclingnews

Chris Horner will move from the bicycle seat to the broadcaster's chair this July for the Tour de France , joining the on-air team for the American NBC Sports television network during the French Grand Tour.

"I'm going back to the Tour," a typically upbeat Horner told Cyclingnews Friday evening from his home in Bend, Oregon, where he had just completed a 144km ride earlier in the day.

Horner will be part of NBC Sports' daily 'traveling studio' for the three-week race, providing analysis and interviews before and after each stage. Paul Burmeister will return to host the studio segments, with retired US pro Christian Vande Velde also reprising his analyst role, according to an announcement published on the NBC Sports website . Vande Velde and Horner will also be called upon to add to the the play-by-play coverage from Bob Roll, who will move from the studio to call the action with Phil Liggett after Liggett's longtime broadcast partner Paul Sherwen died in December .

Horner said he will fly to Europe on July 2 to start preparing for the three-week race that starts July 6 in Brussels, Belgium.

"They have some new material that they want us to learn for the show, so we’ll go over and learn a little bit of that, practice on it, and then we’ll shoot from the hip," he said. "They throw you in the deep water, the deep end of the pool, and hopefully it all works out well."

Horner got an introduction to race commentary this year with NBC Sports at the Ardennes Classics Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He said he sat in and watched Vande Velde for Flèche and then picked up the live microphone for Liège with the understanding that it would also serve as an on-the-job tryout for this year's Tour de France.

He got the call-up not long after that and has been waiting for NBC Sports to make the official announcement. He'll soon find out if providing expert analysis and concise opinions for daily broadcasts over three weeks will turn into a new avenue where he can excel in cycling.

"I’m really good at chatting and talking about bike racing," he said. "But for TV you have to cut it a little bit shorter, you have to be to the point, you have to be real clear and crisp, and so that’s the part I don’t have experience with. We’ll see if I can do it and if I’m good at it, and, of course, will I enjoy it? All those factors go in. You gotta be good at it, and then I have to enjoy it too.

"With anything, when you haven’t done it before, you don’t know exactly what you’re doing," Horner admitted. "I have an idea of what it is because I’ve been a pro bike racer and been around bike racing my whole life, but no one knows exactly what it is until you’ve sat in that chair."

Unlike the one-day races Horner worked for NBC earlier in the season, he'll have three weeks in July to learn the ropes of his new role as journalist and just where he fits into the media food chain at the world's biggest race.

"They asked me, ‘Would you be good at talking to all the directors and all that stuff?’ I said, ‘Well I think when I have the NBC badge on they’ll actually take the call, so I probably will be. You can’t go bigger than NBC, right?'" Horner told Cyclingnews . "But even when I said that, I don’t really know that it’s true. I assume that when you call and they know you’re NBC that they pick up the phone, but maybe they don’t."

'Regardless of what I do in life, I'm still riding the bike'

Horner, 47, raced professionally for more than two decades and competed in the Tour de France seven times, most recently in 2014 with Lampre-Merida. He won the Vuelta in 2013 at the age of 41, but his team kept him out of the Spanish Grand Tour the following year when his cortisol levels dropped below the threshold considered healthy.

A 2012 Olympian, Horner earned his best-ever Tour de France result with RadioShack in 2010, when he finished ninth overall. He raced his last Grand Tour at the 2014 Tour de France, but Horner competed on the UCI Continental level in 2015 and 2016 with Airgas-Safeway and Lupus Racing, respectively. He returned briefly last year with Team Illuminate, competing in the USPro championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, as well as the Sibiu Cycling Tour in Romania.

Earlier this month, Horner competed in the Cascade Cycling Classic in Bend, finishing 17th overall in a race won by 'veteran' US rider Travis McCabe (Floyd's Pro Cycling), currently 17 years Horner's junior.

"I rode my bike 90 miles today," Horner told Cyclingnews  Friday evening. "I don’t get paid to ride my bike and I’m out there doing 90 miles – like a crazy lunatic. But I love it. I really do. I always have. The fact that people paid me to do it just made it that much more fun. 

"Regardless of what I do in life, I’m still riding the bike, I’m still watching bike races on TV, and when [NBC Sports producer] David Michaels called and said, ‘Hey, are you interested in doing the Tour?’ I was like, ‘Absolutely.’

"They’d asked me six or eight years ago, and I said no because I was still bike racing. Doing TV commentary for bike races was maybe the number-two best job, but the number-one best job I was already doing, so it didn’t make much sense. Now I just don’t have those legs, unfortunately.

"I told David, I said, ‘I’m going to be watching the Tour at home for six hours a day, or I could be at the Tour de France watching it and telling stories. So, yeah, I’d love to go with him and go do it. It’s a win-win."

The Tour de France begins Saturday, July 6, in Brussels and concludes Sunday, July 28, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Chris Horner to Join NBCSN Tour de France Broadcast Team

America's last grand tour winner is coming back to your television.

2013 Vuelta a Espana winner and Former Lance teammate Chris Horner will be the newest face in the NBCSN studio this July.  Chris became the oldest grand tour winner at the age of 41 and has been racing professionally since 1995. Horner will join Christian Vande Velde and Paul Burmeister for the traveling studio coverage.

Horner joined Steve Schlanger for NBCSN’s coverage of Liege Bastogne Liege in April. The American had a successful test of his commentating prowess but admitted it was challenging.

Bob Roll will now move to the live broadcast booth to call the race alongside longtime commentator Phil Liggett.  Liggett’s former broadcast partner Paul Sherwen passed away December 2 after 40 years of racing coverage.

Thanks to @NBCSNCycling and @SteveSchlanger for inviting me out to be part of the coverage for Liege. Had a great time learning what it was like on the other side of the race! pic.twitter.com/YAe91pW2By — Chris Horner (@hornerakg) April 29, 2019

With the Vuelta a España underway, it’s worth remembering that just three years ago, American Chris Horner became the first American to win the race, at age 41 — the oldest Grand Tour champion in history.

Since then, Horner’s career has been in sharp decline; he hasn’t won a stage race since that day in Madrid. He finished 17th at the 2014 Tour de France, his last appearance at the sport’s biggest race.

Battling what he said is an antibiotic-resistant lung infection caused by the bacteria  pseudomonas aeruginosa , Horner has only cracked the top-10 twice this year — eighth on stage 4 of the Vuelta Independencia Nacional Republica Dominicana in February and ninth overall at the Tour of Gila in May. Both top-10 placings came at UCI 2.2 stage race races, several levels below a WorldTour stage race, let alone a Grand Tour. He was 13th overall at the Tour de Beauce, in Quebec, and has been a DNF at several races this year, including the national road championship.

Yet Horner continues to race, at age 44, for lower-tier Continental teams that have not been invited to the most important races in the United States. In 2015, it was Airgas-Safeway. This year, it’s Lupus Racing.

But why? With a lung infection, a weak team, and a lack of results, isn’t it time for the elder statesman to finally hang up his wheels?

According to Horner, it’s not. Not yet.

The question was posed to him at the 2016 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah pre-race press conference: How much longer will you compete?

Sat next to Joe Dombrowski, an American GC rider nearly 20 years younger, Horner looked side-to-side with a confused look on his face, ultimately arguing that he had good form, while seemingly contradicting what it takes for an athlete to perform at a high level.

“No, I’m not struggling to find form, I’m struggling to find health,” Horner said, drawing a line between the two while describing how his lungs failed him on the Snowbird climb last year at Utah. “I don’t have a problem finding form. The legs are fantastic. I just can’t get the lungs where they need to be.”

One could argue that if a rider “doesn’t have a problem with finding form” and his legs are “fantastic,” then he should be at the front of the race, racing for the win.

It didn’t happen in Utah. Horner finished 15th overall and never factored into the GC battle on the mountain stages. He told CyclingTips his lungs “weren’t good” the last few days of the race.

When Horner signed with Airgas-Safeway, after a 2014 season spent with Lampre-Merida, it was assumed his palmares would guarantee invitations to the biggest races in the U.S. That didn’t happen. The Amgen Tour of California, a race Horner won in 2011, did not invite Horner’s teams in 2015 or 2016; last year, he said he “couldn’t believe it,” adding “They’ve obviously done harm to the race by not bringing me.” Airgas was also not invited to the 2015 USA Pro Challenge; Colorado stage race was not held this year.

The Lupus Racing squad, including Horner, will take the start of the UCI 2.1 Tour of Alberta next week. Thus far, the team’s best result in 2016 was a stage win for Bryan Lewis at the Canadian stage race Grand Prix Cycliste de Saguenay, a race Horner started but did not finish.

Asked if he feels he’s occupying the spot of an up-and-coming rider by riding for a small Continental team, Horner said that wasn’t the case.

“No, I’m not taking anybody’s place, because nobody does what I do,” Horner said after the final stage of the Tour of Utah. “Nobody has the tactical skills like I have. I teach the young kids, I ride in the front group, I speak well with the press, as you know, so when someone says I’m taking someone’s job, they’re stupid. Nobody does my job. I’m one of the few that do it.”

There’s no question that Horner is tactically astute; countless riders have cited him as one of the peloton’s savviest tacticians.

There’s also no question that Horner’s results have declined the past few years — he was second overall at Utah in 2014, and fifth overall last year. Several rounds of antibiotics have not helped with his lung infection, which has persisted for two years.  Father time is no longer on Horner’s side.

It’s been three years since Horner beat Vincenzo Nibali to win the Vuelta a España — a victory that raised questions about how a 41-year-old, who had never before reached a Grand Tour podium, could beat a Giro d’Italia champion 13 years younger.  His last stage-race podium finish was at the 2014 Tour of Utah.

In July, in an interview with The Bulletin, the local newspaper in Horner’s hometown of Bend, Oregon, Horner said he’s contemplating retirement, but “not yet.”

“At this age, you wake up in the morning and it’s always hard getting out of bed,” Horner said. “You go out and mow the lawn and the next day it’s hard getting out of bed. I’m factoring in all these things daily. On the bike I could be factoring it in every 10 minutes. Am I ready to retire? Nope, not yet. Maybe. Not yet.”

Given his passion for racing, and wealth of knowledge, perhaps it’s time for him to become a team director?

“You could put in resumes, but you don’t always get the job,” Horner told CyclingTips, when asked about the next chapter in his career. “Everything in life is the same way.

“A lot of people think sports is different, but it’s really no different than real-world politics,” he continued. “Someone’s got to have faith in you or you got to be someone’s buddy. I’m not good at politics, and I don’t want to be good at politics. I’m not good at schmoozing and kissing ass, or brown-nosing, or whatever you want to call it. I say it like I see it, like good friends and all that kind of stuff. You know if find someone who wants to hire someone like that, then I’m your guy.”

Chris Horner Explains Why He Isn’t Headed to Tour de France

• Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
• Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)

Chris Horner had to say Bon Voyage to Armstrong and Leipheimer during their last group training session in Colorado last weekend after getting the call from Johan Bruyneel explaining why he wasn’t selected for Astana’s Tour de France team.

“Politics seemed to once again be what was holding me back from doing what I love, racing at the top of my sport. Johan gave me many reasons why he couldn’t take me, and all of them made sense to me from a political standpoint, but absolutely no sense from a straight up who deserves to go standpoint.”

In his blog on OregonLive.com, Horner explained that there were really only two spots open to “lobbying” amongst the team members, and at the last moment, someone else got them.  Here’s how it went down in Chris’ words:

One spot would go to a Kazakh, for the sponsors. Dmitriy Muravyev got it. Four would go to our top GC riders — Alberto Contador, Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Kloden — all of whom have finished on the podium at the Tour. Two went to Haimar Zubeldia and Yaroslav Popovych, who were selected early as support riders. The eighth spot went to Gregory Rast, a big guy who could help tackle the flats. That left one final spot — the spot I had believed to be mine. But instead, Alberto, whom the team was being built around, wanted to take one of his “boys” with him as a support rider. So Sergio Paulinho was in and I was suddenly the odd man out.

Most recently, Horner had been performing well at the Giro d’Italia before exiting the race earlier with a fractured tibia. Read Horner’s full blog entry on the matter here , and read our previous interview with him here .
