The Cobblers
George Hincapie
George will do a hard work this year , he muss lead-out the sprinters in big tours but also he hope to win a coblle classic . The last objective will be very tough for him , Quickstep have the greatest cobllers in the world at this time .

With the help of Burghart and Eisel he hope to do a good work in Paris-Roubaix , the most consacrated coblee race !
With his very good atribute he can hope for one of the two national jersey !

I play on hard , the reasson i win so easy it`s because i have better fitnnes than the other team and it`s not so hard to win with Cav a sprint when you are lead-out by a 75+ flat man , Mcwen follow Cav in the first stage because Burghart have a great fitness and he`s a great flat man . You will see in Paris-Nice or Tireno-Adriatico the real hard level .
