George is one of those all round nice guys. His success and longevity in cycling is a huge asset to the team and he is a rider who other riders look up to.

In 2008 George completed his 13th Tour de France and has always been one of the most reliable and solid teammates on the scene, however his ultimate strength lies definitely in the tough classics races. In 2005 he won the Gent Wevelgem and he has placed top six in five editions of the famous Paris Roubaix.

George has big ambitions to win one of the classics in 2009 as well as be a mentor to the younger riders.

I love being part of a sport that inspires people. I always hear people and friends tell how much they love watching us race and that motivates me to do the best I can Team High Road has in my opinion the vision that will save cycling.

I am pretty laid back fun loving person. My family is the most important thing in my life.
