Fresh dirt from cyclingnews.com... I think it's rad that he hooked up with podium girl.

US Postal rider George Hincapie has revealed that he and girlfriend Melanie Simonneau are expecting their first child in November. The couple, who recently announced their engagement, met at last year's Tour de France, where Simonneau was one of the "Credit Lyonnais girls" hired by the race's sponsor to hand out fluffy lions.

"I was mesmerized by her," Hincapie told Associated Press. "I needed to talk to her or find her phone number." Hincapie didn't think it would amount to anything, but nevertheless wrote Simonneau a note and got one of her bosses to pass it along. A year later, 23-year-old Simonneau is five months pregnant. "We found out three days ago that it is a girl," said Hincapie.
