Jens Voigt won the Tour of Germany in 06 and 07, also was 6th in the Tirreno-Adriatico 07
and 6th in the Tour of Murcia 07. All have plenty of climbing.
That's why he consistently makes my favourites list.

Who did he drop on a hors cat climb in the Tour of Germany ?

Is the Tour of Germany the one where they climb the same
slope 5 times for the mountain stage?

This has been discussed before when he won the 06 and 07 TOGermany.

He's commented himself he can do well when there is one HC climb
during the day but not when there are two or three and this is what
happened yesterday, he blew up in Hautacam.

I'm not saying he's podium material, but he's definitely top 15.

More likely it was planned that way. The candle that burns twice as bright
lives half as long. And even if he could have kept it up, it made sense to
save whatever might be left in the engine for another day.

He has pulling duty in the flats/valleys too, something the team
leader does not have to do (normally).

In the Tour of France. *Maybe* if he led his own team, for GC, and
was very very lucky.
