About this listen
Even by the standards of a sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering, Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular personalities in cycling.
Jens was born near Hamburg and came up through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got into the national team through the German army before signing for his first big team. In many ways he is cycling's anti-star; despite arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than any other rider, he has worn the yellow jersey only twice, as his efforts have always been in the service of others.
Jens embodies the best of cycling's qualities - loyalty to his team, sacrifice, and devotion to the sport. He says, 'I'm not a head person, I'm more of a heart and guts guy. That's how I race.'
Shut Up Legs will be a funny, insightful and entertaining look at the tough realities of professional cycling, told in Jens' trademark irreverent and inimitable style.

amusing, but cliche laden
as with so many sports books, the story is simply train-race-train-race
he's a funny guy so the book is amusing
but the cliche laden language is tiring

JVs honest and revealing biography
A great story tracking the career of one of the best loved cyclists of his generation. JV comes over as a reflective, rational and likeable character despite what sounds like an 'Allo, Allo' accent being used to represent him!

Great story, great voice
This may be the best vocal performance you will ever hear.
If I am right, this dude does all the voices, all the accents. A real talent.
The story is great, a genuine, honest account of life inside and outside the peloton.

Good book but annoying voice
Enjoyed the book but found the accent (although probably required) a little annoying and fake sounding
