About this listen
Even by the standards of a sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering, Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular personalities in cycling.
Jens was born near Hamburg and came up through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got into the national team through the German army before signing for his first big team. In many ways he is cycling's anti-star; despite arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than any other rider, he has worn the yellow jersey only twice, as his efforts have always been in the service of others.
Jens embodies the best of cycling's qualities - loyalty to his team, sacrifice, and devotion to the sport. He says, 'I'm not a head person, I'm more of a heart and guts guy. That's how I race.'
Shut Up Legs will be a funny, insightful and entertaining look at the tough realities of professional cycling, told in Jens' trademark irreverent and inimitable style.

great story of the rock in the sea of cycling
I didn't know much of this story before and thoroughly enjoyed listening to it while my son and I drove to mountains for riding adventures of our own.

Loved it...
As a avid cyclist, I loved watching Jensie's antics on the bike over the years...
Hearing his story have a great insight into the man, and only reinforced what a great rider and person he is.
Highly recommended for all cycling fans.

Good read
The accent put me off at first but came back to it after reading other TDF books and found it somewhat interesting

Hard man - now know him a little better off the bike
Enjoyed account of Jen's life and career around cycling. Some repeat of key points throughout however was worth the read.

I couldn't take the accent
Story is ok but the accent I couldn't listen. I know what they try to do, but didn't work for me.
