Jan Ullrich still has it!!!

[Vino attacks everyone]

All hail Jan the man!

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

Looking forward to see Ullrich receiving his jersey. He deserves it, hope he still fits into it

I guess from now on everybody will push the big gears again.
As it turned out, that's the way to win multiple Tour de Frances, and not the sissy spinning style.

My sides! They are split!

 

[Miburo]

He's more fit nowdays than his racing days.

You might be right

 

[Kwibus]

I don't mind Armstrong getting convicted, but the nr.2s of the TdF he has won were all atleast as suspicious as Armstrong so if they take the wins from Armstrong then they certainly do not deserve it either.

No one had a problem giving Landis' title to Pereiro, so I don't see why Ullrich should not get his wins.

Because Ullrich is a convicted doper and Pereiro isn't.

 

[zalacain]

I saw that Austrian sportif on RAISport the other day. Looked very impressive.

 

[orangerider]

Because Ullrich is a convicted doper and Pereiro isn't.

He was not convicted for the time periods of the pending musical jerseys so that issue is moot.

Actually five 1st places BavarianRider, not 4

Riis was also stripped of his title.

The prosecution rests, asking the jury to find Bjarne Riis guilty of victory in the 1996 Tour de France.

if all were clean ullrich would've won the tour at leats 7x as well. that's my opinion. so for me he can get them but imo it's better to simply cancel all tour winners of those years.

Something tells me he would not fare very well in a USADA investigation though

..........But insiders such as American Lance Armstrong, recovering from cancer and looking to race again for the Cofidis team, said the young German's talent has long been evident.

``It's not so surprising. He's a talened young guy who was world champion as an amateur (in 1993). He could win many more Tours,'' Armstrong said after the 10th stage, second in the Pyrenees, which Ullrich won by a one minute eight seconds margin......

Ironic.

 

[No_Balls]

Ulle is not fat. It is his bike which is small!

[Alpe d'Huez]

Nice result for the guy, he seems to have been through a lot since '06, glad to see him back on a bike.

Agree with that. The guy has been to hell and back, but scrape all the crap away and he's still a machine. Great to see him riding, and well.

Current pick of Il kaiser

10 Kilo less and he would still dominate

 

[Magnus]

10 Kilo less and he would still dominate

Doubt it. He finished 2 hours 15 minutes behind Stefan Kirchmair or something like that.

He seems happy though.

I had the pleasure to pass him while he was tacking a natural brake on Jaufenpass
Though I must admit I couldn't quite keep up with him on Timmelsjoch
