This will bring sad, sad news to the peloton & to fans worldwide when American cyclist George Hincapie retires. Hincapie, one of America's greatest & most popular cyclists was along for the ride on all 7 of Lance Armstrong's TdFrance titles. No, I take that back, Hincapie helped lead Armstrong to those 7 titles!! Domestiques do not get the credit they deserve, they do all the work for team leaders in a long tedious job with absolutely no publicity. George is/was one of the greatest workhorses in the cycling world over the past 15 years. Starting & finishing the Tour de France this many times is an incredible feat, especially being a domestique.
If there was ever a wish list for you George it would be to get that Paris-Robaix (Hell of the North) win. One that you have came oh so close to winning, the one I know you want. Good luck this season!!!
Thanks George for all the memories, you are a hero!!!
George Hincapie retiring!!!
