Don't get me wrong, Mongo loves him some Jens Voigt. He is everything I aspire to be as a cyclist. Tough minded, always attacking, never outclassed, and one of the most respected members of the Pro peleton.
That being said...The Criterium International ain't what it used to be!
Not many top riders show up after Castilla y Leon and before Flanders...and the ones that are there use it as training for their real efforts down the road. Winning anything five times as a professional cyclist is a great achievement, but this is the only GC podium Jens is going to see in a stage race.
Mongo is happy, however, to see another homie (Danny Pate) on the podium. 2009 has been, and will continue to be, a very strong year for American cycling.
