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

Jens Voigt is not a celebrity in the usual sense. He won three Tour de France stages and spent two days in the yellow jersey, yet he never took the overall title. What made him beloved was his character: he worked hard for his teammates, rode with fierce energy, and came across as genuinely down to earth. In this memoir, Voigt looks back on growing up in East Germany and on the balancing act of being a professional rider while raising six children. He also explains how he competed at the highest level without doping. The book offers a candid look into the mind and heart of a rider whose devotion to the work set him apart.
