The Mayor’s Office of Special Events confirmed today that Chris Horner (Astana) will race the Chicago Criterium on Sunday, July 26. Horner placed 14th 15th at the 2007 Tour de France and 4th at the 2008 Chicago Criterium. Many fans regard it as an injustice that he won’t be sipping Champagne down the Champs-Élysées that day, so he’s sure to be warmly received here.
Update: Turin in Evanston will be hosting an autograph session with Horner on Friday, July 24. The 5 p.m. event will be free, with snacks.
And on Friday, July 17, Turin will have an event to promote SRAM’s 2010 Force, including members of Team Lip Smacker and some yet-unconfirmed men’s pro teams.

Great news about Horner joining the Chicago Crit, that brings a lot of prestige to the event and raises the bar quite a bit. Hope “the smiler” has recovered fully from the Giro crash and good to see him involved in this local event.
Wasnt he 15th in ‘07 TdF though?
