Horner climbs into Vuelta lead

American veteran Christopher Horner won the 10th stage of the Spanish Vuelta on Monday to claim the overall leader’s jersey for a second time in this year’s event.

The 41-year-old RadioShack-Leopard rider broke away on the steep, zigzagging special-category ascent up the Alto Hazallanas peak at the end of a grueling 187-kilometer mountainous ride from Torredelcampo in southern Andalucia to win in 4 hours, 30 minutes, 22 seconds. Vincenzo Nibali finished 48 seconds behind in second. Spain’s Alejandro Valverde led a small pack that came 1 minute, 2 seconds behind Horner.
