Pro Cyclist George Hincapie’s new red hot Italian ride—a Ferrari?

It pays to be a professional bike rider.

Apparently it pays a lot to be a pro when you are as highly successful as George Hincapie.

The long time American professional cycling star has a new Italian ride, and it is not what you think.

This one has four wheels, and four exhausts, and weights thousands of pounds.

"That's an F430 Ferrari that Big G is going to drive around for a few months while he's in the US. He was grinning ear to ear when he drove up and he's probably still smiling now. The car looks awesome, but it sounds even better. You can hear him coming before he's in sight," according to the Hincapie Blog.

So perhaps now Hincapie can race Lance Armstrong in his Overhauled Pontiac GTO. Now that would be a classic race worth watching:
