Jens Voigt

[Dear Wiggo]

DZ's win in 2005, but I had it wrong. I remember him making that action with the skinsuit and thinking it strange / unusual, and remember Liggett commenting on it, but just watched Lance's 2005 ride and the movement was missing, so my mistake.

he definitely did it in 01, 02 and 03

Jens was one extremely tough dude.......hard as nails, tough as old boots. A huge talent. But its possible that he may have stepped up to the plate, just like a whole bunch of others, whenever it was required.

Re: Re:

Watch it from 32 minutes he adjusts his shorts and pulls his short away from his backside
Then watch Lance attack on any of his mountain top finishes and 30 minutes from the summit just before he attacks he does the same thing.

Haha! Yes.

The commentator mentions that he's consistent, but his times are beginning "to drag towards the eighteen second point" and the other guy mentions that they told him to "keep something for the last twenty minutes" :lol:

And then at 33:48 on the video, as the co-commentator was saying "when we started talking about it in May" Jens reaches behind him for several seconds. Because those skin suits really do move around on your body.
