Stage 15: By George, Hincapie that is!

Congratulations George for your first ever stage win at the Tour de France.

George looks around almost in disbelief that he has won his first stage ever in the Tour. Hincapie is the only rider on Discovery to ride with Lance in the last seven tours. What a gift to allow big George to go up the road and on the toughest stage of the tour this year, for George to have the strength to win. George, you've worked so hard in support of Lance over the years. Much deserved!

The face of suffering and pain. Stage 15, arguably the hardest stage of the tour with six categorized climbs taking the winner more than 6 hours to finish, punished even the strongest of men.

No other sport, day after day, tests the body and mind like the Tour. World class athletes push themselves to the physical limits, and then get up the next morning and do it all over again, and again and again for 23 days. Just incredible to witness and beyond description to describe. Lance increased his lead in the GC. If he holds on to win his 7th--the accomplishment goes off the charts and I wish there was a way to explain to the average American sports fan why this is the case.

Enjoy it while we can, cause in another week the history books close and the accomplishments of this man, something we will never see in our lifetimes again, becomes legend.
