    Jens is a machine! It's great to see him doing well; he's been solid this year. The only bummer is that I'd imagine he won't be doing it much longer.

    WWJD?

    Dude is nails. And 41. And is truly enthusiastic about what he does. Hope he can keep it up the rest of the year.

    Still can't forget his lines from Chasing Legends about when he fell on his face at 40 mph descending in the tour.

    Or the stage he ended up finishing in the yellow Mavic neutral bike with toe clips that was two sizes too small.

    I first read that as John Voight. Now THAT would have been really impressive!

    As it is, Jens stage win is pretty rad in it's own right.

    It was good to see Jens win the stage. Not only because he is a veteran and can still kill it, but the fact that Sagan or Farrar didn't win by sitting at the back of the group and waiting to sprint at the very end. Jens did it on his own and totally earned it!

    Watching him on stage 4 on that kicker on the 192, when he stood up and put the hammer down I was thinking the " old man" can and will still bury the pups...YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE!

    Jens is also quite generous and willing to share a meal during a race. Despite my recent performance in the WLC week 1... I must have looked hungry enough that he passed his feed bag to me.

    [​IMG]

    After careful examination of his feed bag I've discovered JV secret fuel. Chocolate anything.
    Chocolate Brownie Cliff Bar-Gone
    Chocolate Orange Go Bar - Gone
    2nd Chocolate Orange Go Bar - Gone
    That left 1 vanilla cherry go bar, a pack of citrus blocks, and a cereal bar untouched.

    The fact he ate 3 bars in about 3 miles was impressive.
