Jens Voigt Tweet Awesomeness
That big German is a lot less intimidating off the bike and on Twitter.
Internet problems? Presents for the pets? Tropical Islands? Vomiting children? Oh my!
Behold Jens’ Christmas saga (a series of tweets from the 26th of December):
Ok mery christmas to everyone !!Hope Santa was kind and generous with his presents and that have a peaceful and relaxed time. Jens.
Had Internet problems- and holy moly that was exactly like in the “Groundhog day” movie. I call german telecom and they say-our line is ok!
then i got my specialist coming and he says: No signal coming trough, my installation is fine! Ok i call back german telecom.And guess what?
They say friendly but firmly” Our lines or cable is fine!” Ok i am back with my specialist- and guess what he says?! No signal coming trough
Did you folks get the picture? And i did call all this “hotlines” for 4days straight! And -omg- the stupid music i had to listen to !!
So we change cables, routers, modems and did put all this weird and strangelooking codes and id numbers for 4 days straight…
And then finally i started working again- no one knows why it broke down and why it started working again- a mystery never gonna be solved.
But hey- it works again.And christmas was great,the usual stress, shouting and fighting and it all turned out into a great christmas time.
Felt like a million pressis, kids are happy and so are we. Even cat, dog and fishies got pressis! hahaha
Ok, now i am off with kids to “Tropical Island” huge indoor beach and swim ressort. Built in an old zeppelin hangar-its huge!
Frohe Weihnachten an alle und ich hoffe Ihr hattet einen fleissigen Weihnachtsmann und ruhige Tage.Ok muss jetzt los mit den Kids .
Wir fahren ins ” Tropical Islands” die übliche Entdecker Crew. hahaha
Ah something to make smile, this morning-and i mean early morning- the diaper of our little one could not hold it anymore and starts to leak
And literally a minute later my next kid starts vomiting on the other side of our bed- holy maccaroni-what a mess at 6am- but we survived it
Geraint Thomas gets Mark Cavendish to bare his soul (well, not exactly…).
Nothing like a poorly filmed YouTube video to bring world class athletes down to earth.
These guys are far from the intimidating, intense, alpha males I see in the magazines…
Jens Voigt is…Spider-Man.
Reacting to his recent initiation into the world of Twitter:
There are 30,000 followers in fifteen hours. It’s a great chance to have direct contact with your fans, but it can also turn into a very sharp sword to do some harm if it is used as an aggressive weapon. I see great possibility here but with it comes great responsibility.
A Tweet from Andy Schleck:
Our cook put together what each rider in our team eats a day during a day in the TDF
That’s quite a bit of food.
Those guys must poop a lot.
