Hincapie's New Look
I've noticed that Hincapie isn't wearing "standard issue" apparel and his bike's got American Flag flames. Is there a reason for this or is it just that George Hincapie is a bada$$ and he can do whatever the heck he wants?

Show me a pro rider's wife who isn't.
Isn't the rule that you never talk about another man's wife .. at least not to his face.

That drawing might work, but the bumps would be the varicose veins....

I thought George was just confused on whether he was riding for Disco or for Toyota/United.
On the OP's question, George will wear standard issue Disco during Time Trials. Dave Zabriskie will rock the Capt. America look during Time Trials.
