Furman cyclist riding to the big time

Could a Furman student be a future cycling star?

Quote
For the second time in four years, Hincapie returns to California in the stars-and-stripes jersey of the national champion. This year it will be alongside BMC teammates Marcus Burghardt of Germany, Steve Morabito of Switzerland and 22-year-old American Chris Butler, Hincapie’s training partner for the past month in their hometown of Greenville, South Carolina.

“He’s one of the guys we’ve been nurturing along,” Hincapie said of Butler, a student at Greenville’s Furman University, who started the year on BMC’s under-23 squad but instead was called up, and delivered, finishing 47h at the Giro del Trentino last month. “He’s only been racing a few years, but he’s a good climber.”

I agree with johnb
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness, never had season tickets.
