I first read this in the August issue of ROAD, but figured I'd link to the original source.

And yes, I just realized I misspelled his last name in the thread title. Sorry.

Good stuff! :lol:
Jens can attack a cold one, too. after the '04 Tour de Georgia, there was a party for the staff and teams. I was there because I worked the race as a road marshal. Jens and I walked up to an ice bucket full of Heinekens and talked while we each put away about 3 beers in short order. I was able to hang with him, but I'm sure he was only toying with me.

One other little known fact is that Jens is NOT infatuated with Mrs. Suzanne Green even though the reverse is true. :love:
i've seen jens voigt at the ATOC every year. he always makes himself available to the fans. you can tell the guy is super anal.
once a guy handed jens a jersey to sign and he proceeded to tell him the correct way to hand him a jersey...it should always be backed with a book :notamused:!
you could tell that was a pet peeve of his and that he had recited that lesson many times over the years :D.
