Jens Voigt At Speed


This race is the USA Pro Challenge. It is a week long stage race through the Colorado mountains.  Here Jens has a 45 second lead in the circuit race in Colorado Springs with only 5K to the finish. He was caught just one kilometer from the finish and crossed the line in 61st place. Bike racing is exciting to watch, but can be a cruel sport. Jens Voigt's long and illustrious bike racing career ends this next Sunday.  He rides for Team Trek.
