Hincapie Win Amazing!
 

Much like Lance's remarkable recovery from cancer, Hincapie a self
proclaimed classics rider and NOT A CLIMBER wins a TDF mountain stage!

What next, cats and dogs living in harmony?

Ahhh.... as Lance said, the miracles of science!

equating surviving stage 3 testicular cancer with winning a TdF
mountain stage.

But which is the more unlikely occurrence ?

I'm not even going to continue to have any kind of discussion where
bicycle racing and beating cancer are compared.

Hopefully you will never know why it's in such poor taste.

They very often do. Deprived childhood, Rude?

Actually, its not too surprising at all. George was always a super
talent and his form was super this year. I predict that George will
transform into a more all around rider like Jalabert. He won't win a
big Tour, but small stage races and even the other classics are well
within his ability. With Lance gone, he will be given more freedom and
should look beyond just Roubaix.

Dumbass -

It's not that unlikely that GH could win this stage. He was in a break
w/ guys that were so far back in GC that they were allowed to gain 19
minutes.

Those guys are far back in GC for a reason. They're not the top guys.

thanks,

Although I hate to agree with "Dumbass" Kurganoli.....
GH also did NOT take a single pull until the last couple k's.

That aside it was a great win that I am sure most in the peloton would want
to have

Oh for crying out loud. Lighten the F#$% up.

I got slammed by a teenager talking on a cell phone who was driving a
Saturn. Almost killed me. Months and months of painful rehab and recovery.
Saturn comes out with a commercial where all these things slam into Saturns
to show how dent-proof they are. The last one is a cyclist. I guess I
should be offended and write them letters and protest and be all whiny. I'm
sure you would.

Naw. It makes me laugh each time I see it.

Stop being such a wuss.

**** you, dumbass.

Hit by a car isn't good. And I wouldn't compare it to winning or
losing a bike race.

But it's even more apparent that you've never had to deal with cancer
in your life. And I hope you don't.
