Jens Voigt is an amazing character... Stage 16 he crashed on the first descent - then refused the sag wagon - he had no team car so they found him a bike ( a junior's bike with toe clips). So he carried on with that until his team car could get to him and then jumped onto a new bike - caught up and finished the stage. A lot worse for wear - but amazingly still upbeat and positive as always. I think it's safe to say - he's tougher than you or I. Here's the story in his words (including a photo of him riding the junior bike). http://www.bicycling.com/tour-de-france/tour-features/saying-no-sag-wagon And here's a vid of quick interview with him at the end of the stage... . Chapeau Jens!
