	Active.com - Stage 15: Stars and stripes sparkle: Hincapie wins stage, Armstrong keeps lead (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		American rider George Hincapie won the 15th stage of the Tour de France held over 205km from Lezat-sur-Leze to the summit finish of St. Lary Soulan in the Pyrenees.
		Hincapie's Discovery Channel teammate Lance Armstrong retained the yellow jersey he is aiming to win for a seventh consecutive time before retiring after the race on July 24.
		Hincapie looked the freshest, given his lack of relaying the lead group for most of the day -- and again the New Yorker was happy to sit on Pereiro's wheel for the 10.7km final ascent.

	Breathtaking breakthrough - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Cycling - Sports
		In a dramatic, completely unexpected turn of events, Hincapie won Stage 15 of the Tour de France after being out front in a breakaway nearly all day on the most demanding stage of the race, a six-mountain marathon that Armstrong had lusted after since he decided this Tour would be his last.
		Hincapie has been on six Tour-winning teams and has won races in his own right, but he was clearly unaccustomed to the pomp and ritual that accompany a Tour stage victory.
		Hincapie is a perpetual contender in the Paris-Roubaix race, called ''The Hell of the North" because it is contested on centuries-old cobblestoned rural roads designed for oxen, not men on skinny bikes, and seemingly always takes place in a pelting rain that throws mud and manure into the riders' faces.

		George Hincapie had been suffering a mystery illness first spotted at the Volta ao Algarve, complaining of breathing difficulties and sinus problems.
		Hincapie also tells me (and with some conviction) that he would recommend such an approach to any of his friends or team-mates suffering from a similar illness.
		Hincapie earned the equivalent of a university level high distinction with his performance at the hors catégorie classified Volta a Catalunya, riding strongly all week in a class field of riders and finishing 24th on general classification.

		Hincapie is the only one of Armstrong's eight teammates to have been with the Texan for all of his six Tour victories.

		Hincapie undoubtedly in the best form of his career in an opportune situation with two of his team in the break was given the worst decision of the fates on this Sunday in Hell.
		George Hincapie's stage win on Sunday had a few people suggesting that he could be a Tour leader for Discovery, but, well, he's 32, and I think it was intended more as a nice compliment for a rider who deserves tremendous respect than a serious indication of the team's direction.

		In it, George, his arm around her shoulder, is smiling the most affable, sincerely good-natured smile imaginable, and it's been on her bulletin board since then, right next to that picture of her with the Stanley Cup.
		So, as it was for all of George's supporters, news of his early season illness this year was heavy news indeed, and all the spring classics seemed just a little less thrilling without another all-out assault on the bergs and cobbles by the tall, dogged New Yorker.
		Unfortunately for George, a whole host of symptoms, including sinus trouble, a persistent low-grade fever, and a general lack of energy and stamina conspired to keep him off the bike from April through mid May. Missing his favorite races was hard for George, but harder still was not knowing what was making him so sick.

	Kevin Livingston: George Hincapie wins!
		George was the right man for the job.
		It had to be in the back of the minds of Hincapie's breakaway companions, especially Pereiro in the final kilometers, that unfortunately for them they had brought along the same guy that destroyed the front climbing group on the stage to Courchevel.
