One of my all time favourite pro riders. Absolute beast on two wheels and a time trialling machine!

He's decided that if Jens isn't going to cause everyone serious pain, then another German should!

Hi,
I mentioned him in the Vuelta last year, 110 miles at 25 MPH...................Even Ligget mentioned his stolen stage win in the last 100 mtres :(
Not seen all the tour today, but see him today pacing up the hills NOT rocking at all, compared to the other stick insects :)
Maybe there is something to learn from his style :?:

I was worried he wouldn't finish today when he finally moved off the front, was hardly moving.

At it again today too, at least he'd had a rest day.

Given that all the riders use power meters now can we establish who uses the most energy on a stage (and of course, the least)
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Is there somewhere we can do that or is it all kept secret? It would be interesting.
