Jens Voigt’s Trek Madone 7-Series (USA Pro Challenge)
Jens Voigt’s Trek Madone 7-Series (USA Pro Challenge)
Jens Voigt’s (Trek Factory Racing) 17-year career as a professional cyclist ended this season.
The legendary German hardman, 43, called time on a famous career at the USA Pro Challenge and was gifted a machine befitting of his iconic status in the sport.
Trek’s striking chrome-framed machine carries tributes to Voigt’s life and career, including ‘a running tally of the number of souls Voigt has crushed in his career of attacking, though the number is a conservative estimate’.
Chrome Bontrager XXX shoes, Bontrager Velocis helmet and a custom kit completed the look, as Voigt sought to sign off in style. But despite launching a series of regular attacks – just as he has done throughout his career – the German couldn’t hold off a baying peloton to record one final victory.
