Ouch. I don't think you get where Hincapie is by being a whiner and having a loser's mentality. I think his comments though were really made out of frustration and disappointment / heat of the moment...he's going to look back on what he said and eventually regret it.

Yeah, Garmin should lose their 501(c)(3) status!
And here I thought it was a bike race.
December 28, 2003. Cardinals (4-12) beat Vikings (9-7) on a last-play touchdown. Vikings are eliminated from the playoffs. Cardinals had nothing to gain by winning -- indeed, they could have hurt their position in the next year's draft. But nobody questioned why the Cardinals would play hard. And nobody from the Vikings said that the Cardinals' effort showed a lack of respect for the Vikings.
As George's BFF said on Stage 17 of the 2004 TdF: "No gifts."

The last stage is flat, so it plays out like any other flat stage. Attacks for GC placing do not work on flat stages (normally). The sprinters still sprint, and green jersey points are still up for grabs.
Vino sprinted for a time bonuses on the last day one year, and moved himself up a position in GC, over Levi Leipheimer.
