Horner is currently retweeting everyone and their mother about local clubs he's supposed to have signed with. The guy has a sense of humor about it.

Mario Arroyave ‏@marroyave35 33m
I just got fooled by @hornerakg tweeting about all the teams he's been signed for. #wellplayed........

GBTransplantCyclists ‏@GBTxCyclists 1m
Hope @hornerakg is not going to sign for us. For his sake...

He's joking as he is connected to every team now..

 

[Ruudz0r]

Ye I see now, he had me fooled though

 

[BigMac]

Horner to Caja Rural according to Ciclo21

 

[Ruudz0r]

Now a rumour about Horner that makes some more sense: http://www.ciclo21.com/chris-horner-negocia-para-fichar-por-el-caja-rural-rga/

 

[Netserk]

If that is true, you gotta hand it to Cooke.

 

[manafana]

he has surely decided to take a small base salary to get a ride so?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Awful news. Awful, awful news. Awful, awful, awful news. Kill it with fire news.

 

[Jancouver]

Horner should get a chance to defend his title. Caja Rural would be great team for Chris. I like this idea.

 

[hfer07]

WoW- Caja rural is spending money on building the team up nicely!

Horner, Lulu, Txurruka, Arroyo etc- I mean... they got nice riders

 

[42x16ss]

This makes me mad!

Nice riders who will be forced to ride for Horner all year

I agree with Libertine! I don't want to see Madrazo, Arroyo, Sanchez, Txurruka and co. towing Horner around Spain, I wanna see them attacking and laying the smackdown in breaks

Got your point, but is unlikely of that ever happening, since The team lacks the depth to go for a GC title-Specially La Vuelta-I might see Horner's contract as an Insurance to secure all major Spanish races-but not as an "ambition to fight for GC.
The races they get to participate in are tailor-made for escapists- not for Horner alone..

I'm not so sure. Arroyo, Sanchez and Txurruka would be quite capable domestiques, especially considering they should be fresher than most of the WT guys at that time of the year. They would'nt go too well in the TTT but if Horner turned up in form with their best 8 to support him then he should go top 5.

 

[Michele]

Lets get to the important question, does Spain has burgers? I mean, good burgers!
Otherwise I dont see it hppening!

 

[jens_attacks]

caja rural would be very good. almost as good as europcar

to be honest, i don't think chris can ride two grand tours in one yearin full gas mode. after purito, he would be the great favourite for vuelta. it would be a good choice

 

[Cimber]

A tad offtopic but great news for the sport regarding Giant-Shimano

José Been‏@TourDeJose3m
Giant is title sponsor for FOUR years!

José Been‏@TourDeJose1m
Giant manager Davis confirms this is a FOUR year deal to be Giant-Shimano. Three teams: devo squad, women and men's WorldTour

 

[Ferminal]

Hopefully he signs immediately, no reason not to get invites to Giro and Tour that way.

 

[del1962]

Horner declines offer from Christina Watches

 

[Cimber]

Horner declines offer from Christina Watches

Yep, he will sign for Caja Rural it seems. Makes a lot more sense. He will be able to do the Vuelta for sure there. And like Christina Watches they arent afraid to sign dodgy riders either.

 

[Ferminal]

Horner declines offer from Christina Watches

He also declined my offer, but I wouldn't say that's newsworthy.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

you lacked depth in your team

Caja Rural deny interest in signing Horner.

 

[Wallenquist]

Daniel Benson ‏@dnlbenson 37m

Caja Rural deny interest in signing Horner.

They have denied interest in Sanchez either and later on he actually signed with them.
