The World's Greatest Domestique
We experienced first hand (literally) why George Hincapie finished more Tour de France races (17) than any other rider and is considered the world's greatest Domestique. After a 60 mile ride, including a 6 mile climb up Ceasar's Head (6-12% grade) and 2 mile Pinnacle (18-24%) climb that defied gravity, George put his hand on my back to push me to front of the lead pack. For a brief moment, I got to experience what true power on a bike felt like, compliments of the hand of greatness.
