Hincapie Going to T-Mobile?
On Marca's website (a Spanish newspaper) it says that Hincapie has signed up with T-Mobile. Anyone else heard of this. He'll look great in pink. Maybe they'll give him a better chance at the sprints than Discovery.

It seems he's pretty good friends with Michael Barry. His wife's family might be a consideration also.

I heard last weekend from a pretty reliable source that it might not happen. However, that was before T-Mobile confirmed sponsorship this week.

George is no dope. He knew there would be no dough for Disco in 08.
At least my man has a job for next year. I hope he wins Paris Roubaix before he retires. Nobody deserves that more than George. What a fabulous career.
Don't forget he's from Long Island and he won his first big races in NYC's Central Park. You gotta love that.

The T-Mobile deal had everything to do with money - not family or friends. Hincapie is a professional athlete, not a kid backpacking through Europe.
The reason I posted this question is because I knew about the rumor (you hear a lot of those) but was unaware that the signing had come along.
