Jens Voigt.

An exciting tour stage this morning saw Jens Voigt descend the Col de Richemonde like a man possessed to rejoin the leading break with 10km to go. Thomas Voeckler ultimately took the stage in a great, slightly uphill battle. The really memorable part for me was Phil Liggett's commentary on Jens Voigt. Phil was complimenting a man who at age 40 is still able to keep the mental strength to train for 7 hours a day as is required by a professional rider. Mr. Liggett was further amazed that Jens can do this when he has six children at home as he is missing all those wonderful moments of their childhood! Hmm.....question........is it easier or harder to go out on your bike all day when you have six children at home?
