Hincapie in the Spotlight.

Bonnie Ford's article on the ESPN Cycling page today shines the spotlight on my favorite cyclist, George Hincapie. Bravo Ms. Ford and thanks from a big Big George fan. Sounds like he is having a lot of fun and getting personal satisfaction riding for Team Columbia.

ADELAIDE, Australia -- George Hincapie leaned on his bike last Sunday evening, watching and waiting quietly as his former teammate Lance Armstrong, clearly first among equals on the Astana squad, emerged from a separate entrance at the foot of the stage where Tour Down Under teams were being introduced to a large and largely enthusiastic crowd.

Moments later, Hincapie filed up with Team Columbia, the last of the 19 teams to walk the runway by virtue of having propelled Germany's Andrei Greipel to a title here last year. It may be one of the few times in Hincapie's 16-year professional career that he had better billing than Armstrong in the same event.
