Hincapie Sportswear has been involved in every aspect of the sport from its very inception, and sponsoring athletes and teams if part of that involvement. We hold ourselves to the highest quality standards in everything we do, so we value character and integrity almost as much as race results in our chosen partners. We believe that the future of our sport rests on the shoulders of the leaders and mentors that help develop and cultivate a passion for cycling in new participants, particularly juniors. George and Rich Hincapie are both products of junior cycling programs, and they understand what is possible when young athletes receive support. We provide a full range of support from top professionals to high school clubs, and we’re very proud to be involved with the following teams, clubs and athletes.

Time Pro Cycling
This UCI Continental team turned pro in January 2008, but their goal has always been the same: mentoring young riders as they move up through the ranks of cycling. The team had some impressive wins in their first season, and with the addition of eight new riders for 2008 promises to have even more success in the years to come. A strong management team as well as three mentors lead and train the younger guys to solid performances in race across the country. Hincapie is the official clothing sponsor of Time Pro Cycling and provides clothing to the Time Masters team as well.

Team Columbia
Since a Hincapie is an active member of this pro cycling team, it is only natural for Hincapie Sportswear to provide part of the team’s wardrobe.
