Mavic neutral support car maybe?
No way… those neutral support bikes are REALLY nice. Typically they’re just painted name brand bikes. And they’d have them in whoever’s size. I think iirc they even spin some pedals on based on what cleat you use?
I almost bought one of them when it popped onto ebay (I think it was a cannondale caad 9 (from a few years ago when it was still tour spec hot action or something?)) but I couldn’t justify it’s insane yellowness.
ALthough I suppose where the heck else would it be from? Maybe since he was at the back it was all that was available? I dunno how tall jens is, but that bike is so small unless he’s like 6’5" I find it hard to believe they’d just have that bike around in such a wanky size?
“I’m doing 70 kilometres an hour on the first descent when my front tyre explodes,” explained Voigt.
"Before I hit the asphalt I actually manage to think that this is going to hurt. Both knees, elbows, hands, shoulders and the entire left side of my body were severely hurt.
"My ribs are hurting but hey, broken ribs are overrated anyway.
"Fortunately, I didn’t land on my face this time and I’m still alive.
"I was offered a ride on the truck that picks up abandoned riders but I’m not going to quit another Tour de France.
“Now, there’s a rest day and Paris is not that far away.”

That doesn’t look like a Mavic bike, based on the components and the fact that its totally not Jens’ size. They still use CAAD 9s though.
Maybe he got it of a spectator.
Last time I saw someone use a mavic bike it had clip/strap pedals.
Anyway, I love Jens even more since he’s read Terry Pratchett.

Maybe they all do, but I know the mechanics stock a buncha pedals. TBPH if your bike breaks its prolly coz of a bad crash so the mech has like 30 secs to spin some pedals on.
Hell if I know
We can only hope to be half the rider that Jens is.
SHUT UP RIBS.
FUCK.
wow.
i need to put that on my tt pad so when i’m crouched down in pain i can read it . . . . . . . . and then pass out in defeat
