2026 Hincapie Gran Fondo Greenville Results: Young Lucca Hincapie debuts at 15th Anniversary Edition
Over 2,000 cyclists joined the Hincapie Family & Friends for its 15th Anniversary celebration at Hotel Domestique in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend.
Young talent was on full display, with many Under-19 riders finishing in the overall top tens, with 12 year-old Lucca Hincapie putting in an impressive ride in the Medio Fondo.
Chef's Accarrino, Chef de Hoyos, Chef Kramer, Chef Haydn, and Chef Cizma brought their A-game and gave VIP guests an incredible night at the Hotel Domestique Celebrity Chef Dinner presented by The Cliffs.
The start was a bit windy, but once the field got moving, the day settled into a clear fall morning, sun on the road and color in the trees the whole way around made for a dry and challenging ride. The route ventured from Greenville, South Carolina, into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the North Carolina border, featuring the iconic climbs of Skyuka Mountain and Green River Cove Road.
Riders from Hincapie's Modern Adventure professional cycling team were also in attendence alongside multiple USA champion Enzo Hincapie.
