Jens Voight wins my vote for MVP of the Tour de France this year. He had my vote early on after watching him absolutely destroy himself on some nasty climbs to put his team lead, Andy Schleck, into position to take the yellow jersey. But yesterday sealed the deal.

After having a tire blow out on a fast descent forcing a  crash that would send most mortals to the hospital and out of the race he was stranded. His team cars had left him behind and his bike was torn to shreds on impact.
