More on George Hincapie
Description from Wikipedia:
George Hincapié Garcés (born June 29 1973 in Queens, New York City) is an American professional road bicycle racer currently riding for UCI ProTour . Hincapie resides in Greenville, South Carolina.
Hincapié is most widely known as a key domestique of Lance Armstrong, having been the only rider to assist Armstrong in all seven of his Tour de France victories. Hincapie was also a domestique for Alberto Contador during his 2007 Tour de France victory. Thus, he is the only rider to have raced on eight Tour-winning teams. As of the end of the 2008 Tour, Hincapie has raced the Tour 13 times, finishing all but the first year.
However, Hincapie does have several important wins of his own, starting with Gent-Wevelgem in 2001 and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne in 2005. Also in 2005, Hincapie took two stage wins at the Dauphiné Libéré and 2nd place at Paris-Roubaix. In 2005 he also had his first stage win in the Tour de France where, on July 17, he finished seven seconds ahead of Óscar Pereiro to win stage 15 from Lézat-sur-Lèze to Pla d'Adet. More recent victories include two stages at the Tour of California (2006), the overall and a stage at the Tour of Missouri (2007), and another stage win at the Dauphiné Libéré in 2008. He is a two-time US Professional Road Race champion (1998, 2006).
Throughout his career Hincapie has targeted the cobbled classics of April, specifically the week that begins with the Ronde van Vlaanderen, continues mid-week with Gent-Wevelgem, and ends with Paris-Roubaix. Since 2001 he has always been a threat to win, although only achieving the highest position on the podium with his 2001 victory in Gent-Wevelgem.
