Chris Horner has had a hard time finding a team for next season. Now his agent Baden Cooke reveals that he has signed a contract with an unnamed team.

 

A little more than a year ago, he stood at the top step of the podium in one of the biggest races, the Vuelta a Espana, celebrating the biggest win of his career.

 

Nonetheless, American Chris Horner has had a hard time finding a new employer after Italian WorldTour team Lampre-Merida decided not to renew the contract with the 43-year-old veteran.

 

 

Now things are looking brighter for Chris Horner who seems to have found a new team for 2015. His agent, former rider Baden Cooke, tells Danish TV2 Sporten that Horner has signed a contract for next season.

 

Baden Cooke refuses to reveal the name of the team but confirms that it is not Danish Cult Energy which will move up to pro continental level in 2015.

 

 

The team has one open spot which is expected to be filled in the coming days. At the same time, Baden Cooke said a few weeks ago that Horner had an offer from a European pro continental team.

 

 

"Chris (Horner, ed.) has signed but not with Cult. We will announce the team in the coming days," Cooke says.

 

 

The American veteran has had a terrible year at Lampre-Merida where he has been unable to reach the level that allowed him to win the Vuelta in 2013.

 

Horner was involved in a horrific crash in the spring when he was hit by a car while training in Italy. As a conssequence, he didn't do the Giro d'Italia where Cooke is convinced that he could have finished in the top 5. Instead, he returned for the Tour de France where he fought against illness and finished 17th overall.

 

 

 

At the end of the year, Horner had planned to defend his Vuelta title but elevated cortisol levels meant that Lampre-Merida withdrew him from the race a few days before the start, thus obeying to the rules of the Movement for a Credible Cycling.
