Hincapie topped rivals Andrew Bajadali and Jeff Louder as a crowd cheered him to the finish line. Hincapie says he "was in full-crank mode" during the last dash.

Hincapie, with Team Columbia-High Road, finished in 4 hours, 33 minutes and 36 seconds to win his first U.S. Road Race championship since 2006. Hincapie won his first national title in 1998 and got the victory after coming off a broken collarbone from a fall during the Tour de France. Bajadali followed in 4:33.37 for Kelly Benefit Strategies and Louder in 4:33.39 seconds in third.
