Hincrapie
E Fresh points out this quote from George Hincapie after last Sunday’s Tour of Flanders:
I was in a situation where I couldn’t do much. The team was second and third so we have to be happy with that. But I had really good legs today and maybe I could’ve done a little better. Hoste surprised me a little with his jump on the Valkenberg. But that’s ok, I’m happy for Leif. He‘s a really good teammate and he always works hard for the team. We wanted to win today but I’m happy with him getting second. I had super good legs but I’m a team player and once a team mate is in the road I just sit back.
Well, god damn! Surprised by a little jump on the Valkenberg! Who would have guessed that you could almost win a race by showing a little aggression and trying to take matters into your own hands? Hincapie obviously will never figure this out.
This guy is so over rated that it makes me weep for all those riders who never get noticed because “big” George accidentally fumbles his way on to a podium despite himself.
I guarantee that Hincapie will not win Paris-Roubaix.
