Shut Up, Legs!: My Wild Ride On and Off the Bike

Beloved German cyclist Jens Voigt isn’t a superstar in the traditional sense of the word. Although he won three stages of the Tour De France—and wore the yellow jersey twice—Voigt never claimed an overall victory. He became a star because he embodies qualities that go beyond winning and losing: sacrifice, selflessness, reliability, and devotion. European and American crowds were drawn to his aggressive riding style, outgoing nature, and refreshing realness.<br /><br />Voigt adopted a tireless work ethic that he carried throughout his career. In <i>Shut Up, Legs!</i> (a legendary Jensism), Voigt reflects upon his childhood in East Germany, juggling life as a professional cyclist and a father of six, and how he remained competitive without doping. <i>Shut Up, Legs!</i> offers a rare glimpse inside his heart and mind.
