Horner considering cyclo-cross campaign
Airgas-Safeway's Chris Horner told Cyclingnews last week that he'd like to compete in some cyclo-cross races next fall now that he is racing domestically in the US.
"I'm working it out with Marin Bikes right now to set up some 'cross stuff, and we'll see how much Airgas-Safeway as a whole, because I think there are a few kids who do it, too, wants to get involved," Horner said.

The 43-year-old Grand Tour winner lives in Bend, Oregon, which has become a hotspot for the fall-winter discipline, having hosted the national championships multiple times. Oregon is also home of the Cyclo-Cross Crusade series, which brings in 1,200-1,500 competitors each race for its amateur and pro events.
"I've got a new big RV rig, so if the kids want to come we've got a place to stay at the races," Horner said. "We've got a place to stay warm, get it going good and put on a show for the fans. I like doing 'cross."
Horner was unsure, however, whether he would be able to compete in the World Cup races that will take place in North America for the first time this year in Las Vegas and Montreal.
