I also voted for Jens for his character rather then his riding ability. I think he has one of the best characters that is riding around.Wlfdg said:I know there are better riders but after seeing the documentary Overcoming (?) I have really grown to admire Jens Voigt's attitude and dedication.
I voted for Spartacus - the guy is amazing - but there are about 4-5 guys who I generally root for, and Voigt is one of them. The way he's always on the attack just spices up any race he is riding in.Wlfdg said:I know there are better riders but after seeing the documentary Overcoming (?)

Andrija said:Armstrong 0/18 so far.
I wonder why? Has it become socially undesirable to be his fan (on this forum at least... don't worry, it's anonymous voting), or he hasn't the comeback story to sell, or cycling public wants new heroes - riders with victories this season, so the impression about them is stronger... Probably the mix of everything this is the reason.
But I have to vote for him. The guy has incredible TDF record, best ever... On and off the road (you know what am I talking about, right?)
I want to encourage others too.
Let's wait till a week before TDF. Army of his fans/PRs will flood the forums. Numbers will change instantly.

Yes. Freshness (I called it strength previously) of impression is factor.pennstater said:One reason for the lack of votes for LA might be his relatively quiet 2010 season so far (not counting his off the road issues). For someome that is only targeting the TDF this ins't a surprise. People just haven't seen him at the front of races as much as lets say, Evans or Cancellera.
