One of the most well-known names in cycling, George Hincapie defined the term domestique, making a name for himself by serving his teammates and putting their needs above his own. George brought victories in a record 17 Ronde van Vlaanderen races and a second-place finish at the grueling Paris-Roubaix, which was the best placement of any American. George also competed 17 times in the Tour de France and won three U.S. National Road Race championships.
Upon your arrival, you’ll receive a collection of high-quality Hincapie gear to enjoy throughout the week. The apparel includes two cycling kits, socks, and accessories. All of this gear is yours to take home and enjoy for years to come.
