Horner also achieved several top 10 placings in the Spring classics of the Fleche Wallone, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Amstel Gold. He and his RadioShack teammates did well at the 2010 Tour of California, with Horner putting on a particularly strong performance in the last stage of the race as a member of a final breakaway at Thousand Oaks. Horner finished fourth overall, 1 min 4 sec behind winner Michael Rogers, and just 39 seconds behind teammate Levi Leipheimer in overall time. His good form also resulted in a 9th place overall at the Tour de France, as the first-placed US rider, in spite of dedicating himself in the first stages to supporting his captain Lance Armstrong.

In 2011 Horner continued his success at Pais Vasco with a second-place finish, as well as 4th in Catalunya.

Horner then accomplished the highest-profile result up to that time by winning the May 2011 Tour de California stage race. He scored a major solo victory on the 4th stage, after making significant time gains on the day's final mountain finish in San Jose. He maintained his hold on the yellow jersey until the tour's queen stage, where he completed a two-man breakaway finish with teammate Levi Leipheimer to finalize the overall lead, and at age 39 became the oldest rider in history to win that tour.[11][12]

His participation at the 2011 Tour de France was short lived after a crash left him out of the competition.

RadioShack-Nissan (2012–2013)

In 2012, Horner signed with RadioShack-Nissan. He started the 2012 Tirreno–Adriatico as his first race since July where he finished second after losing his lead in the final time trial to Vincenzo Nibali. He then finished 8th in the 2012 Tour of California, failing to defend his title. He then rode the 2012 Tour de France where he ended up finishing 13th overall after putting a good performance in the mountains.

After suffering an injury in the beginning of 2013, Horner returned to action after winning stage 5 in the 2013 Tour of Utah and finishing 2nd overall. Less than three weeks later, in stage 3 of the 2013 Vuelta a España, Horner attacked over the last kilometer to win the stage and take the overall lead in the race. By doing this, he became the oldest rider in history (41 years and 307 days) who won a stage and wore the leader's jersey in a Grand Tour.[13] He won again in the stage 10, another uphill finish, reclaiming the lead.[14] and setting a new record of the oldest rider (41 years and 314 days) to win a stage in a Grand Tour. Chris's success at that race continued and he won the 2013 Vuelta a España on the 15 September 2013, the oldest ever Grand Tour winner.[15][16] “I’ve been a professional for almost 20 years so this represents a lifetime of hard work. A Grand Tour is always a goal for a cyclist to show how good a rider you are. The memories will last forever and the riders I came with were amazing and my team has been fantastic," Horner said after the victory. [17]

On 30 June 2014, Horner was named in Lampre's 2014 Tour de France squad, with Rui Costa as team leader.[20]

He placed second in the mountainous Tour of Utah[21] which he raced in preparation for the 2014 Vuelta a España. However, Horner withdrew from the Vuelta ahead of the first stage due to his cortisol levels dropping below the threshold considered healthy by the Mouvement pour un cyclisme crédible, of which Lampre-Mérida is a member. The announcement followed Horner's usage of cortisone on prescription under a therapeutic use exemption to treat a case of bronchitis.[22]

Lampre-Mérida opted not to extend Horner's contract, and in December 2014 he announced he had signed a deal with UCI Continental team Airgas-Safeway for 2015.[3]
