America's Greatest Cyclist
I had desperately wanted to believe that Mar-Jac's comment was only some type of twisted joke. But unfortunately, you can see the site in all its splendor here. I was working on something about the wheels falling off of T-Mobile with the German Tour underway, but this can't pass unnoticed...
The bio section is particularly enlightening. Did you know, for example, that over the summer George "claim[ed] a record-shattering seventh consecutive Tour victory"? Or that "Lance and George are the only riders in the history of the sport to win the Tour de France seven times"?
(Listed, too, in his palmares is the 1998 US Cycling championship, despite the fact that he was penalized for an illegal draft in the race caravan and stripped of the victory.)
All this would seem to belie Hincapie's self-indulgent claim that the road to the top didn't happen overnight. Apparently it just took a few hours one afternoon with an HTML editor.
I'll save a longer tribute for George Hincapie Day.

Comments should be fixed now so you don't have to be a registered user. Maybe in recognition of George Hincapie Day (soon to be a paid holiday for federal employees) your wedding party should be entirely decked out in his cycling fashions.
