The stunningly candid autobiography of one of cycling's great names and the man who rode alongside Lance Armstrong for each of his now infamous seven Tour victories George Hincapie has always personified more than the sport in which he chose to compete, cycling, and his legacy will be more than the sum of his accomplishments on the road. It is also intertwined with the team-mates he helped to achieve success. As Lance Armstrong's trusted sidekick, he helped re-write the record books of the greatest cycling event in the world, the Tour de France. No other team-mate was with Lance for all seven of his wins. No one was closer to him as a friend or confidante and no one was closer to the scandal which would ultimately bring down Armstrong and so many of those around him. Told with stunning candour, 'The Loyal Lietenant' offers the most transparent and engaging account yet of the now infamous years of cycling's modern history. It is a book that will once again change our perceptions of what it means to be a sporting great.

George Hincapie is one of the most recognized riders in the world, with numerous world championships, national championships and professional victories to his credit. George is the only team-mate to have played a pivotal role in all seven Lance Armstrong victories. He's also the only supporting rider to ever be on a Tour winning team nine times. This is his first book. Craig Hummer was a seven-time U.S. Ocean Ironman Champion and winner of over forty National and International Lifesaving Titles. The Emmy-nominated sports broadcaster has been involved in the 'alternative' and 'action/lifestyle sports' markets for over twenty years; first as a professional athlete in the sport of 'Ocean Ironman' racing, then as a commentator who has now widened his expertise into multiple sports.
