Why I love George Hincapie...
2001 Paris-Roubaix.
Every TDF he ever rode for Lance Armstrong.
2007 Tour of California.
'nuff said.

I'd love to have "relations" with that wife of his.

He kicked my ass back in NYC when we were both Juniors. When I became a Cat 3 after Juniors, he was still underage and still a Jr. He would do some unsanctioned rides and kick everyone's ass. I don't love the guy but I'm so happy that he's still going and going and going and going.

If you were being facetious, I apologize.
By the way, I love Hincapie.
