George Hincapie (BMC) goes into this weekend's Paris-Roubaix in good form after finishing sixth at the Tour of Flanders last week. The American has had a love/hate relationship with the race, but his results there have been consistent as he finished in the top ten on five occasions, and claimed second in 2005.
