Push until it hurts, then push some more Even by the standards of a
sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering,
Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for
his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and
quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular
personalities in cycling. Jens was born near Hamburg, and came up
through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got
into the national team through the German army, before signing for
his first big team. In many ways he is cycling's anti-star; despite
arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than
any other rider he has only worn the yellow jersey twice as his
efforts have always been in the service of others. Jens embodies
the best of cycling's qualities - loyalty to his team, sacrifice,
and devotion to the sport. He says, 'I'm not a head person, I'm
more of a heart and guts guy. That's how I race.' Shut Up Legs is a
funny, insightful and entertaining look at the tough realities of
professional cycling, told in Jens's trademark irreverent and
inimitable style.
