mark cavendish would be great to hear from.

by Cora007xyz on May 25, 2009 at 10:26 AM

Thank you so much for having Jens. I can understand it good that this Giro seems so hard for you after the long break and in higher age now. I also drove far distances when I was much younger, had than a long break, than tried it again 10 years later and it was no fun, much too hard than but you will become fitter up to the Tour. Do you have curled hair? Did not know. Also nice. Handsome.

by Cora007xyz on May 25, 2009 at 10:29 AM

I also could not understand why they did not let ride the man Pauwel yesterday. He could have won the stage,he should better have simply taken of his radio from ear and should have done his own thing like you also did sometimes in the past. He could have said that the radio was broken...Now too late. Have a relaxing nice restday.

by Cora007xyz on May 27, 2009 at 7:45 AM

Jens must improve his English but it was polite that you didn´t correct him in front of camera but if you meet him alone you can help him become better,correct him..

by LfromMass on May 25, 2009 at 6:24 AM

Popo, please. I love to be a small part of his good nature and optimism.

by SarahMariaSaxo on May 25, 2009 at 6:29 AM

Great to hear from Jens. He's in the breakaway now. :-D

Cavendish is not there anymore. :-)

I would like to hear from Sastre. If that's a bit too much, what about Popovych then?

Or of course, anyone from the Saxobank team. <3 :-D

by Canjo09 on May 25, 2009 at 6:54 AM

Liz KReutz..funny...good insight from a whole different perspective..and pretty hot also...good combo's

by RALPHSTANLEY on May 25, 2009 at 6:57 AM

RUBIERA, RUBIERA, AND RUBIERA, PLEASE

by Kjellg on May 25, 2009 at 7:06 AM

Edvald Boasson Hagen. The Giro has been his break through with one first and two second places. He has also done a great job for Cavendish. enjoy your videos.

by Rozen on May 25, 2009 at 7:18 AM

Please Tomas Lovqvist. :)

by mikey19391 on May 25, 2009 at 8:45 AM

by Calypso808 on May 25, 2009 at 8:51 AM

Popo please.

by SarahMariaSaxo on May 25, 2009 at 9:09 AM

Okay, I want Popo too now. Also because his nick name sounds funny. :-D

by F1nbar on May 25, 2009 at 9:14 AM

Daithi O'Brien, Brendan & Barry Breslin all from Donegal Ireland, all bike fans since the days of Roche & Kelly.
Lance we love the videos, and we would love to see thee great young rider from Donegal Ireland, helping Sastre up the mountains... Bring on Philip Deignan (Cervelo sexy bike team) please, please please.
We want Deignan, the best rider outta Ireland since Roche!
Thanks Lance.

by Sander91 on May 25, 2009 at 9:19 AM

I hope you guys also do these videos in the Tour, then you can do an interview with the Schleck brothers!

I'd like to hear from Carlos Sastre now if it's possible. After all he won the stage.

by bikeninja on May 25, 2009 at 9:28 AM

mark cavendish!!

by likewise on May 25, 2009 at 10:08 AM

Interview Ivan Basso.

by friesenhower on May 25, 2009 at 10:16 AM

I like Jens! Is George Hincapie in this race?

by edyskitch on May 25, 2009 at 10:18 AM

basso or popo...keep it up; loving the updates and interviews!

by EddieVegas on May 25, 2009 at 10:22 AM

1 more vote for Liz. Behind the scenes perspective is something we don't see too often.

by kaisnumber1fan on May 25, 2009 at 10:25 AM

how about denis menchov!!!!! yeah rabobank!!!!!!!!

by clivemain on May 25, 2009 at 10:28 AM

Can you chat with Barloworld riders like Robbie Hunter or John Lee Augustyn? Thanks

by clivemain on May 25, 2009 at 10:30 AM

Great videos with Jens & with Mick...

by ddorsett on May 25, 2009 at 10:30 AM

darn forgot to sign in again. Popo earned air time today. I so wanted him to have enough left to finish and win that stage. He works so hard..looks incredible descending. AND I would like you to talk to Liz Kreutz who deserves time for doing such a great job and putting up with primarily men only photographers. Not that she really minds that, but a little estrogen is good. So Popo, Liz, Chef Duffy

by geargrinder on May 25, 2009 at 10:33 AM

Great to hear from Jens. I agree, Popo would be cool to hear from.

by speedoflite1 on May 25, 2009 at 10:42 AM

Bus guest request: Allessandro a.k.a. ("Alex") Bertolini, the oldest guy; discuss his St 7 break attempt (what was he thinking!?!...); insights/changes over the years in the peleton; impact of new technology (earphones, training, bikes, twitter & accessories); interesting, exciting, funny Giro experiences.

by speedoflite1 on May 25, 2009 at 10:45 AM

2nd bus choice: "Mr. Cunego"...his "popularity." tee hee

by szzmate on May 25, 2009 at 10:47 AM

For long time Popovych was one of my favorite rider, but after Armstrong have retired he is my favorite. In this stage he was fantastic, and I hope he will be the next.

by JoWARD on May 25, 2009 at 10:50 AM

Great ride today Lance and Levi! Looked like pure torch er. Jen's was a great addition to your daily video's. I think its time to get Popo in the video. Incredible job today by Popo. I real shame he didn't win.

by speedoflite1 on May 25, 2009 at 10:50 AM

btw: Jens Voight was great! a longtime favorite.

by Nazar_Lviv on May 25, 2009 at 10:55 AM

I told you yesterday - POPOVYCH!!!! He is my countryman.

by josequaresma on May 25, 2009 at 11:01 AM

yes, popo would be amazing! he was huge today!

by tite on May 25, 2009 at 11:01 AM

DI LUCA , DI LUCA please please.

by hardrun78 on May 25, 2009 at 11:01 AM

I would like to hear from Popovych as well because he is a machine!

by Midnatsol on May 25, 2009 at 11:07 AM

Hei Lance!
Thanks for all your great videos! And thanks for having Jens Voigt there! He is a great guy!
It would be great to hear from Popovych (great ride today! A petty that he didn't win) and L?ist!

by Haldir on May 25, 2009 at 11:08 AM

How about Tom Danielson. I know Lance is a big fan of Slipstream's team ethic and I would LOVE to hear what Tom really thinks of Johan & Co after his time with Discovery!

by Martinlind on May 25, 2009 at 11:20 AM

Ivan basso!

by Hugo1 on May 25, 2009 at 11:24 AM

Maybe you can ask Denis Menchov to come?

by fanjosi on May 25, 2009 at 11:31 AM

hey great to see you jens!!! :D
nice video

by nkjv12 on May 25, 2009 at 11:34 AM

Great videos Lance and Levi! Keep them coming! Jens Voight was a hoot. This fellow has a wonderful personality. The insight from the tour is really cool. Thanks for sharing the journey with us! Popovych please!

by Eigenbrood on May 25, 2009 at 11:37 AM

Hi Lance and Levi, ask Laurens ten Dam to join. He's doing a great job for Denis.

by Popovych_A on May 25, 2009 at 11:40 AM

Please, please, please: I want to see Popovych! He's my favorite rider, and today he was super! Please!

by RosiesRivetHous on May 25, 2009 at 11:50 AM

I would love to hear from Liz Kreutz. She is sure to have a great perscective. Love getting her twitters.

by GoKarenGo on May 25, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Yes! Liz Kreutz would be fantastic. I love her tweets, too.

by wannabebiker on May 25, 2009 at 11:51 AM

I loved Jens! Thank you Lance and Levi, these videos are priceless!

by ScottyG1962 on May 25, 2009 at 11:52 AM

Basso!

by GoKarenGo on May 25, 2009 at 11:59 AM

Would love to hear from Popo and Liz Kreutz!

by Spice89 on May 25, 2009 at 12:00 PM

Who is Kevin Seeldrayers? he is leading the young riders clasification. I'd like to see him with you guys on video.

by Treefrog8 on May 25, 2009 at 12:04 PM

Popo please. Would like to hear what he has to say after his great ride today.

by ConasCycle on May 25, 2009 at 12:26 PM

Awesome interview. Hey Lance & Levi, if cycling doesn't work out for you two at least you'll have something to fall back on. BTW I hear Bob Roll is getting nervous!
Great job and thank you so much!

by kidscientist on May 25, 2009 at 12:27 PM

I know love Jens even more! He was fun, thanks for having him in your latest video!

by dtuna on May 25, 2009 at 12:28 PM

Interview Sylwester Szmyd best gregario

by Chilricky on May 25, 2009 at 12:29 PM

Maybe Denis Menchov? He can tell how he's gonna defense his jersey.

by tragezot on May 25, 2009 at 12:46 PM

Kevin Seeldraeyers, the white jersey. Or Serge Pauwels, that unlucky guy who lost a stage win because of the idiot tactics of Cerv?.

For your belgian fans!

by tundr on May 25, 2009 at 12:58 PM

Basso gets my vote. Hearing his input on the race would be great.

by tonypizo on May 25, 2009 at 1:02 PM

INTERVIEW THOMAS WOKLER un fran?s non ? lol Bravo Lance tu es un super mec bye

by edwin1988 on May 25, 2009 at 1:07 PM

Gilberto Simoni would be great to hear from. You are both one of the oldest riders in the peloton and from a great generation of riders. I would like to hear how he is experiencing his last grand tour and why his form is bad or maybe its because hes getting old?

I know you two didnt really get along in the past but maybe its time to shake hands!

by ERIOPEL on May 25, 2009 at 1:39 PM

Thanks for Jens V. for having this interview with Lance & Levi. It's always exciting for the fans to have their favourite cyclist(s) being interviewed. It looks like Jens is still doing well in the profession at his age. I hope he keeps on and make a history being the oldest professional cyclist, competing with the younger cyclists about half of his age, and having a family with 5 kids!:-)

By the way, I hope Team Astana is having a good day rest after that gruelling stage 16. A bit sad for Levi for losing time because of a flat tire, sometimes it can be unfair! Also, for Popo working so hard to be in front and just being dropped in the last kms. was sad too. It's a very good effort of Popo though. Being in the bike for over 7 hours is a bit too much for all the cyclists there today, plus the heat, the climbs and the fatigue. The fans/supporters/organizers in Giro are very supportive with the cyclists. Fans giving them water along the side of the road are a very thoughtful thing to do.

Hopefully, Levi and the rest of the Team Astana will be able to catch up with 5 stages more to go. Have a nice day rest. Win or Lose, we're here for you. Take care.

by jockeb1 on May 25, 2009 at 1:39 PM

Thomas Lovkvist please!! just to please us people from Northern Europe and it would be great to have someone who can compare to the big weather conditions between a cold country as Sweden and a warmer country obviously as Italy

by jockeb1 on May 25, 2009 at 1:40 PM

Thomas Lovkvist! it would be really great to hear from him!

by vanmanjumps on May 25, 2009 at 2:06 PM

Jens Voigt - awesome video, I love that guy! Would love to have you interview Basso, DiLuca or Menchov! Lance might have to position himself between the Levi and that guest....

by eswinburne on May 25, 2009 at 2:13 PM

Popostrong!!!

then I would like to hear from Lizstrong.. How does she fare with all the male bonding.... ;)

Jens rocked.... he has a hell of a lot of enthusiasm and great attitude...

by SandersG on May 25, 2009 at 2:13 PM

Lance,

Please interview Laurens Ten Dam!!!!
I know that you told him, that you have a lot of respect for him!
So show your respect for a lot of Dutch fans

Thank you, and goodluck in the rest of the GIRO

Your Dutch Fans

by Leifo on May 25, 2009 at 2:17 PM

Would like to hear from the talented Boasson Hagen:D

by antomico on May 25, 2009 at 2:18 PM

It'd be good to hear from Bradley Wiggins. He normally has some quick wit to share.

Good luck!

by nkjv12 on May 25, 2009 at 3:05 PM

Dear Lance and Levi,

I agree with antomico. It would be nice if you could squeeze in a few interviews with the rest of the boys from the USA riding in the Giro? Tough break for Popovych, was pulling for him so hard. Brutal stage.

Thanks and best wishes for your team!!
Country Boy Fan from North Carolina

by ijke on May 25, 2009 at 3:05 PM

Thanks for yet another great video Lance & Levi.

As a proud Belgian I would love te see Kevin Seeldraeyers with you guys, especially now he's wearing the white jersey! He's a real promise for the future..

Take care.

by arielmoon on May 25, 2009 at 3:57 PM

Let's hear from Popo!!

by Lance_i_believe on May 25, 2009 at 4:01 PM

i want a vid with yaroslav popovych

by oski91 on May 25, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Love the videos! How about one of the youngsters: Lovkvist or King. Jens was great in the video today.

by ziaboulder on May 25, 2009 at 4:12 PM

Do you have any Grey Popo? Yes, certainly.

by SPANIARDRIDER on May 25, 2009 at 4:13 PM

Mi voto para Carlos Sastre o Chechu Rubiera. hey barlata is cool-

by jimturner_ on May 25, 2009 at 8:01 PM

Popo and some of the other boys from USA. These videos bring a new life to cycling. Who needs the media anyway...well maybe just a little!

by laughwithme on May 25, 2009 at 9:15 PM

Get Liz on the bus. She is a part of the team and takes amazing pics. She can give a female's perspective on the Giro!

by zapillo on May 25, 2009 at 9:33 PM

Great guy Jens Voigt..
I'd like to see Carlos Sastre, ooooh a spanish interview, it will be great to hear Lance and Levi speaking spanish! You can do it! YES YOU CAN! I also like to see the young french rider Guillaume Bonnafond, I've done some races with him a few years ago, and he's not so bad on the giro for his first season. Please give this oportunity to a young rider...
I've heard that Lance wants to create a sort of union beetween the profesional riders to be more powerful...I think Lance is the right person to create this spirit and i suport him.

Good luck for the end of the giro, i hope Levi will feel better than yesterday and that Lance will finaly have an haircut!

by weisdpt on May 25, 2009 at 10:38 PM

Popo! Keep up the great work guys. Two more mountain finishes to get that time back and more, we can't wait. Enjoy the day off!

by Skull81 on May 25, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Denis Menchov please! He's not that great talker, bu maybe you guys can maken him talk?

by descrivan1 on May 26, 2009 at 12:09 AM

Jens was great, what a character ! Popo was heroic yesterday, would definitely want to hear from him !

by buczoo on May 26, 2009 at 4:37 AM

Hi Lance :) my name is Micha? i'm from Poland i'm cycling too :) i won't be original if i write that i'm your fan and i really respect what you do. a few years ago my Mum watched TDF with me and she became your great fan too. She watched your every Tour, totally involved and excited. once i promised her that i will get your autograph especially for her. and now Mum's Day is coming and i simply want to try ;) i know that you really busy, 16th stage but anyway.. if you have time this is my mail michalbuczek@op.pl i can give you my full address. my Mums name is Irena :) good luck .. ps nice calf :P that's Polish cycling slang ;D

by gogetta31 on May 26, 2009 at 5:26 AM

Lance,
It would be great to see Carlos Sastre in your next video if you could. Best of luck in the next stages Lance!

by jasperjacobs on May 26, 2009 at 7:05 AM

Why don't intervieuw Kevin Seeldrayers?!
He is riding one hell of a race!

by BrowardWheeler on May 26, 2009 at 3:36 PM

Lance and Levi, thanks so much for getting Jens Voigt on your video! To echo a comment made by another reader, I love that guy! He's been one of my favorite European riders for quite a few years now, and he has such a wonderful, endearing personality, not to mention that he's outright funny as hell!! Not surprising at all that he was the most requested guest for your videos.

Jens, all of your many fans and I would absolutely love to see you win a stage, if not here in Italy, then in France. Go, Jens!!

by zippcyslist on May 26, 2009 at 4:33 PM

Jens no need to be politcally correct! I watched an interview of you the other day on the specialized website where the guy asked you how hard the stage was and you said it was "balls to the wall" which in cycling I feel is the most accurate description ever! And Lance my vote goes for Cancellara, Cavendish, or Popo!

by duckypam on May 26, 2009 at 8:52 PM

J'adore Jens Voigt. He is class. He's been my favorite for years. Thanks for having him on Lance!

by lkindem on May 27, 2009 at 12:10 AM

for the jens fans - check out the DVD overcoming (from the CSC era)
keep the flics coming, it's great insights to the race in addition to the twitter updates - u rock twitter man!
next guest - pls pls pls have Boasson on your "show", he ROCKS!

PS! nail them up Blockhaus today!

by boazpark on May 27, 2009 at 3:22 AM

Astana team, have a nice sporting with bike and shoot for it so that the Almighty may be honored.

Hey, i have a three legged dog called Jessie(Hit and run). Waiting for her to lose the other one because i fancy a personalised golf trolley! Don't tell the kids.
