ARMSTRONG VS HINCAPIE AT TOUR DOWN UNDER

George Hincapie Tour 2008

They say you should keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. When seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong makes his official comeback to top-level professional racing at the Tour Down Under in January, he will have to face former loyal aide George Hincapie.

Organisers of the South Australian race have announced that Hincapie (pictured) will be lining up for the Columbia squad and for the first time in his long career will be a direct competitor to his former boss Armstrong.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
