Jensinator

Jens Voigt has set himself to win his second straight Tour of Germany. Today he surprised many of the top time trail riders by taking the win by 14 seconds. Not only does Jens has one more stage left, its also a very flat stage which means it for the sprinters. This also will make it very easy for Jens to sit in the peleton and control the race. So team CSC is sitting pretty going into tomorrows stage. Heres the results from velonews.com
