In the midst of his most successful racing season to date, George Hincapie is quickly becoming one of the most recognized riders in the world. En route to Lance Armstrong claiming a record-shattering seventh consecutive Tour de France victory, George scored an impressive win in stage 15 and powered the team to victory during the stage 4 team time trial. George Hincapie has been hailed as "America’s premier Classics rider" following his tremendous second-place finish at Paris-Roubaix 2005, the highest ever placing for an American rider. He is also the only American to win the Ghent-Wevelgem and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. A 10-time Tour de France veteran, George Hincapie is the only teammate to have played a pivotal role in all seven Lance Armstrong victories.

Becoming one of the country's best cyclists didn't happen overnight. George had an outstanding career as a junior rider before taking it to the pros. As a junior, George won 16 medals, 10 junior national titles and two world medals. He was a member of the 1989 U.S. Junior National Team and two-time winner of the Mary Cappy Award, given annually to the outstanding cyclist at U.S. Junior Nationals (1990-1991).

George graduated from Farmingdale High School in New York in 1991. His hobbies include basketball, mountain biking, music and motorcycling.
