Chris Horner signs to Lampre-Merida

Chris Horner, Vuelta a Espana 2013, stage 20

Chris Horner has signed a one-year deal with the Lampre-Merida team for 2014, ending months of speculation on where the 2013 Vuelta a Espana winner would end up.

Despite winning the Vuelta at the end of the 2013 season, Horner was not one of the riders signed up to the Trek Factory Racing team when they took hold of the RadioShack WorldTour licence. Since then, it has appeared that Horner has struggled to find a team - until Lampre-Merida's announcement on Thursday morning.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
