Fifty Plus (50+) - Spoiler alert...So, how many enjoyed watching

Big George Hincapie take the stage in Stage 2 of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge? This is a guy who has worked so hard for others for so many years. Whenever he takes a stage it just makes me :D:D:D:D:D

Absolutely loved it! :D
Also loved seeing TJ move into yellow and seeing George, TJ and TD on the podium for the stage together.

watching.......what? Have to open this to find out what it is....lol :)

Spoiler tip. Don't put the spoiler in the first sentence of a post or it will be visible to anyone who puts their cursor over the link.

I get six full lines over any post that my cursor stays on for more than a second. Not sure what you mean BD.

Yeah, you're right. That's more than used to show. Not a big deal anyway. Anyone looking to avoid a spoiler shouldn't put their cursor on a thread with spoiler in the title anyway.

Yay! Go Big George.
I got to meet the man once at an Amgen charity ride and have my picture taken with him.
In my book, a nicer, more deserving man you will not meet.

George is from Queens NY, like me, so how could I not be a fan?

Honestly, I don't know how the heck he became a pro cyclist being from these busy streets, but good for him!

Go George!

Yeah, I loved it too! :D:thumb: Been a George fan since I lived in Greenville SC, where I believe he is still worshipped as a God! What a great guy.

If I didn't know before hand, I would have been screaming at the TV when I saw the rerun. Nice to see him get a "W".

I didn't know and I was yelling and pumping my fist in the air. Go George!

Having a problem watching over here as the Relay from on course keeps breaking down and not much of the race is able to be watched---


BUT- If any of you are following La Vuelta- there is a rider that I picked out in the Tour of Poland called Marcel Kittel. Not a rider that had caught my attention before Poland but he stood out again today. Not often a "New" name catches my eye for long as just after I have decided to follow them- they get a drugs ban. Provided everything is Kosher with this rider- he is going to be one to watch in the future.

And La Vuelta today- flat stage that was ridden slow but the last 10K got up to speed and the finish is "Exciting"- May not be the right word but I'll say no more.

And may be the Colonial aspect of me- but I am surprised how Cadell is coping with the altitude. It is hitting him but not bad for a "Lowland" rider.

This is for stapfam and anyone else who didn't get a chance to see it.

I love it win the old guy wins.:)

He's also coping with the heat. Yesterday it looked like the entire peloton was suffering even on the flats.
