Joy for Jens!-fans

PrintJens! Voigt keeps working on earning his reputation as the energizer-bunny of the Pro peloton. He says in this interview that although his contract expires this year he already has a verbal agreement with Bjarne Riis to keep riding for one more year, possibly two. Sweet Jebus that is good news. Regardless of his results we want to keep the funniest man in the peloton around for as long as possible.

This just made my morning
Thanks Jens……and Jens!
Hmmmm, have the two of you ever been photographed in the same place at the same time? Anybody else thinking Clark Kent / Superman?

On second thought... there is, perhaps, a Clark Kent/Superman thing...
… but I suspect it’s not Jens! and Jens… it’s Jens! and Terrible Terry Tate.
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.
Can't copy/paste from cyclingnews.com,
but you’ve gotta see this look on Jens’ face after being in a 200km break in the Tour:
Interestingly, Cyclingnews terms the look "happy."
Well, I guess you'll have to cut and paste:

What a picture!
Thanks for that—I’m going to be chuckling all morning.
I hope that if and when Jens! does retire, he becomes a TV commentator. And if German TV drops their cycling coverage, fine—he can do it for Versus so we English-speakers can enjoy him.
Google is my domestique.
Here it is
as a linkie instead of having to paste anything.

Good news!
Any event is always more exciting if Jens! is particpating
formerly known as cyclingchallenge
That's a great way to wrap up a week!
Good news indeed. Can we just make Bjarne sign him for say 5 years for comfort?

Jens! is so cool. Every hyperbolic descriptor in the English
language comes to mind, but I’ll spare you all. Nikki was right, it doesn’t take much to get me rapturous over Jens! Jawohl, this definitely made my day!
My biggest conundrum right now is the guilt I feel over (maybe) not picking Jens! for my VDS team. What, oh what should I do?
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
I'm in the same boat
Jens! was on my VDS team last year and I’ll almost feel like a trader if I don’t put him on this year too……
Oh no Ruthann....
I fear you may feel ill during many races if he is not on your team. You may want to play a bit more to make sure he’s on there.

I'm have no doubt Jens is cutie to all you girls,
me I am just into it for the podiyummy girls, see above in Jimbo’s comment pic -
and thanks Jimbo ! – and go Jens !
Nononono...
Jens!-love is universal. Gender and/or sexual orientation have nothing to do with it… Jens! is just Da Man…
so is podiyummy love, or it should be universal . . .
and I do love Jens (not both of the Jens’s I don’t think – maybe – no offense PodCafe Jens), see me above saying go Jens ! right ?
Hold still...
CQRanking.com, you complete me.

yes, exactly
we the people of the pod, who love all things pod whether it is a yummy thing or sexyback thing – this be our declaration . . .
"...energizer-bunny of the Pro peloton..."
Now I need to see Jens! in pink bunny suit a la Ralphie.
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
LOL....
He rode back up past us on King George Rd yesterday after stage 5 in the TDU – we shouted out to him and got a wave and a big smile….
I’m struggling to work out who my next cycling hero is going to be once he retires….there just wont be enough quirk without him.
Jens for Pope
ROFL!!! Awesome. I love you guys with photo edit abilities!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Jens! is the man.
haha, funny i asked Jens about when he will retire when i was chatting to him, I’m willing to say two years a definant if he has a good year ;-)
Favourite shot of mine, i know it’s in my post but it is worthy of being here as well…

Love the pics girl!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."

Got this from a Eurosport.de interview
after ToC he is doing Paris-Nice, than Crit International. Than he will have a break before riding the Giro, than the Route du Sud and the Tour. That’s all he listed, I’m sure he has some other races on the schedule as well.
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."

Thanks Phil

anything in April? hmm
