Hometown favorite George Hincapie sprinted hard the last 100 meters on rainy streets Sunday to win the USA Cycling Pro Road Race Championship.
Hincapie topped rivals Andrew Bajadali and Jeff Louder as a crowd cheered him to the finish line. He says he “was in full-crank mode” during the last dash.
Hincapie, with Team Columbia-High Road, finished in 4 hours, 33 minutes and 36 seconds to win his first U.S. Road Race championship since 2006. He won his first national title in 1998 and got the victory after coming off a broken collarbone from a fall during the Tour de France.
Bajadali followed in 4:33.37 for Kelly Benefit Strategies and Louder in 4:33.39 seconds in third.
