Leipheimer rides past Horner for State 7 win in California

By Anthony Caruso III

Levi Leipheimer outlasts his teammate.

Leipheimer claimed the seventh stage of the Tour of California on Saturday. The former three-time race winner rode past his RadioShack teammate Chris Horner with two miles left to take the win.

Horner finished second in the race. And he is expected to win the overall race title.

Horner had a 38-second lead over Leipheimer coming into the race. The race ends on Sunday with an 82.3-mile stage from Santa Clarita to Thousands Oaks.
