Jens counterattacked repeatedly until he kicked its ass.

You are what you eat. Jens Voigt eats spring steel for breakfast, fire for lunch, and a mixture of titanium and carbon fiber for dinner. For between-meal snacks he eats men's souls, and downs it with a tall cool glass of The Milk of Human Suffering.

Jens Voigt rides so fast during attacks, that he could circle the globe, hold his own wheel, and ride in his own draft. At least as long as he didn't try to drop himself.

Jens is certainly amongst that lot, as probably are Evans, O'Grady and plenty of others whose names don't spring to mind.

Impossible to separate once it comes to that really.

If there were more like him, we'd all be speaking Deutsch right now.

+1 for Navarro.

Schleck's attacking of Contador yesterday (and Sunday for that matter) took some doing.

And of course Chavanal and Pineau. Just because they're French doesn't mean we should ignore them.

i heard simon gerrans had fallen off the other day, got carted off to hospital with a suspected broken cheek. wasn't so no matter, gets on bike with a fat face and a black eye then subsequently falls off 7k into the avoriaz stage, breaks his arm but finishes anyway

and i found this

The road gets Jens rash.

JENS’ BIG RING IS 56. HIS REAR CASSETTE IS 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-12.

JENS NO LONGER HAS A SHADOW BECAUSE HE DROPPED IT REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT CLIMBED INTO THE SAXO BANK TEAM CAR CLAIMING A STOMACH AILMENT AND RETIRED.
