Today was FANTASTIC !!!!!! But Hincapie is no Hinault. He can not climb, TT, or even possibly sprint like Hinault. But other riders can trust him. Just ask Lemond about Hinault.limerickman said:Hincapie's second place at Roubaix and his winning a TDF mountain stage is a great achievement.
Hincapies achievement was bettered by Hinault in 1981.
That year Hinault won Paris-Roubaix and won the 18th stage of the TDF at
Bourg d'Oisans-Le Pleynet.
Hinault also won the TDF that year too.
