Just How Old Is Voeckler?

[gntlmn]

I have heard OLN many times say he's 23, and I have read many times that he is 24 and 25. I suspect he is either 23, 24 or 25. When was he born, anyway? I looked around for a while to find a birthdate, but I thought this might be easier.

If he's 25, it may be harder to get the yellow jersey from him than they think.

Born June 22, 79. By my calculation, that means he turned 25 just under a month ago.

I have a strong feeling he may end up in the top 5 this year. 9 minutes plus on top GC contenders is a lot of cushion even before the mountain stages. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

I'm looking forward too. I made a bold prediction in this thread (http://www.cyclingforums.com/showthread.php?t=138940) which drew some snickering, but oh well.
