Jens. Is. Awesome. Could this man really be any cooler?

That's why I enjoy reading the Tour coverage over at NYVelocity. After reading the silliness in the "serious" cycling press, Schmalz helps to put it all into perspective.

Some of you ladies might...

There is always the option of ignoring it... ;)

I've loved it too. Sure, much of it has been childish, but it adds elements of both drama and humor. The race itself is exciting but, really, how much can you talk about someone's acceleration at...

Ha ha, sucked you in! :D

Purely because of my own personal bias against Contador which, like pretty much any other opinion here, is based only on what I've read in the press and seen in race coverage. The guy's shown he's a...

Hmmmm... Here's hoping this is only a rumor: http://www.velonews.com/article/95824

Aaawwww... Great profile of Jens from espn.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/tdf2009/columns/story?id=4344207

Danilo DiLuca was just snagged for allegedly (B sample hasn't come back yet) using CERA in the Giro, so don't hold your breath yet on a dope-free TdF. Either some results take a while to obtain, or...

Very good news about Jens!

As bad as I know TdF withdrawal is each year, I have to admit that I'm kind of glad it's almost over so that I can go back to getting some work done in the mornings... ...

Which makes for very entertaining drama. Regardless of what anyone thinks of any of the racers individual personalities, it's hard to deny that this has been one of the more interesting elements of...

chutch: You take this very seriously, don't you?

Duck on Wheels: Now, how could the cuteness of Pelli Bawm Chicka Bawm Bawm possibly wear off?? ;)

In other news, VeloNews live coverage just...

You'd have to follow Schmalz for a while to get all of his in-jokes but, yes, Thor SMASH is a reference to not only the Norse god of thunder but also the comic book character.

And yet another blog...

Latest news on Jens is that he may require surgery to repair his cheekbone: http://www.velonews.com/article/95678/voigt-may-require-surgery-on-cheek-bone

And I got a chuckle out of Schmalz's take...

Just think, Jobob, you and Jens can trade crash stories the next time you meet!

It's amazing that he didn't break anything else. The live feed I was following immediately assumed that he would...

No kidding. Jens was apparently doing close to 45mph when he went down. I was out riding with divingbiker the other day and at one point we headed down a dip towards a bridge over a creek. After...

Here's a slo-mo version of papaver's video: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=33n926f&s=3. It appears that he hit a bump and then slipped on the white line.

Some very graphic photos have also...

Latest word from Velonews, though it's not saying much: http://tour-de-france.velonews.com/article/95591/voigt-injured-in-crash

I was listening to the coverage and have only been able to find a...
