George Hincapie in yellow!

After serving as Lance Armstrong's most loyal lieutenant during his seven-year run as king of the Tour de France, it is only fitting that George Hincapie finally gets to wear the yellow jersey himself.

Hincapie has had a great deal of success in the classic races in Europe, but most Americans don't know that because, for them, bicycle racing begins and ends with the Tour de France. You can learn more about him at his Web site.

Thanks to the the latest doping scandals, there is a strong possibility that an American will be wearing yellow three weeks from now in Paris. If it's not Hincapie, then it could be someone like Floyd Landis or Levi Leipheimer.

If you can't watch this year's Tour coverage on OLN, you can keep track on the race by checking out the links on the right column of this page.
