But enough of my daily (some may rightly say hourly) Versus kvetch.
Some excellent Jens news
Riis wants to keep German with team
Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank) is already planning to ride the 2010 Tour de France. “This would be a bad way to stop,” he said from his hospital bed in Grenoble. The German suffered a fractured right cheekbone and a severe concussion in a crash in the 16th stage of the Tour on Tuesday.
He told the German news agency dpa that he felt quite good and hopes to fly home to Berlin on Friday. Voight said he will remain in hospital until then, “because they want to scan my head again. There was a small blood clot as a result of the concussion.”
heh heh, this sounds familiar...
The 37-year-old doesn't have any recollection of the crash itself. “I was thinking on the descent that it was going very well for me, that I could still work a bit for the Schleck brothers – and then I woke up on the stretcher in the ambulance.”

Sounds like he is in relatively good spirits. I am so relieved he going to be ok. Originally Posted by jobob

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...
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
