George Hincapie, perfect teammate and seems like a good genuine bloke.

Always working so hard for others good to see some personal recognition.

One of my favourites of the peloton.

He wears black socks at times and I therefore cannot endorse this victory.

Hahaha....

I used to like George a lot, until he whined so much about missing yellow in this years TdF and got mad at Evans for being in the break that Evans initiated. However, he seems like a pretty nice guy and I think he will continue to give a lot back to cycling after he retires, given his "pla d'Adet plans" in NC. I just hope he grows up a bit before then!

Anyway, congrats George!

It's not his fault. He used to hang out with a bad crowd.

If I remember correctly, he is the one that influenced the Uniballer to wear black socks.

agree.
biggest problems in todays cycling:

3. the uci/aso war
2. doping
1. black socks

Regardless of his very out of the ordinary whining at the Tour this year, I'm a big fan of George. He's always been a classy guy, and even though he's from South Carolina, he's got a lot of Belgian in him.

I'm so glad that this year's champion is someone I can be proud of. Last year I thought it was an embarrassment that Hamilton won. I won't get into the details (that's a post for The Clinic), but I was proud to see George in the Stars and Stripes in the past, and will be for the next year.

The big question is will Columbia give him a NC jersey that looks like the ones of old?

Craig Lewis did a great job working for him with swine flu. Yeah I didn't try to shake his hand when I passed him before the race

Congratulations, George !!! I am really impressed and happy for you !!!

If I had a beautiful wife like that, I would ride as fast just to get home to see her

 

[wheels55]

Yep - nice win George!! Hope he gets his P-R victory next time out - wouldn't be the first old campaigner to pull it off real late in his career...

...love that someone else here knows about pedo bear.

Hincapie

Great move by George to win!

Great career move to switch teams.

Beautiful family. Best to you and family George.

 

[BrianWisconsin]

Good for you, George.

Now why does the U.S. have the single ugliest national champion jersey in the world? It looks like the freakin' Harlem Globetrotters uniform.

I don't totally agree here...good teammate most of the time. When Levi won the road race 2 years ago it was very obvious at the finish that George was not happy!! No congrats (at least publicly) to Levi. Not a perfect teammate.

Congrats anyway.

Well done George

And reported to have signed with BMC racing for 2010. Seems odd and a step backwards to a smaller team that really doesn't race in the big races in Europe. Tired of Lance I guess?
