Christian vs. Jensie

How about these two arguing whether it was a cross-wind or a head-wind?
Seems like a little ex-pro competition going on between these guys, and it doesn't sound good in an awkward/non-professional regard.

I recall some of this and remember thinking that Jens was the greenhorn and perhaps a little too strident in his opinions, but overall I think it's a good dynamic. Jensie is pretty straight up in the way he says stuff, and it's a good counterpoint to the more diplomatic guys in the booth; great coverage, imo.

Christian was like a deer in the headlights his first go round, he's slightly better now. But I'd keep Jens if I had to fire one of them.

I'm going to side with Jens on this one. His addition has added a deeper and more technical narrative into cycling tactics.

Phil, Paul, Bob, VdV and Jens were great together. If they'd only drop the revolving door of network hosts - Hummer was unbearable; Trautwig was the last one I could tolerate on a daily four hour basis.

Everyone loves Jens. Even my kids stop what they're doing when he's rambling on with that accent.
