"broken ribs are overrated anyway"

Jens Voigt - hard as belledin' nails:

"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."
