Thank you so much! I am certain I´d have missed it.

Well he is more than 2 years younger than Horner, so I can't see why he shouldn't be able to win the Vuelta next year

It's Jenke von Wilmsdorff. He is often in german television making some experiments on himself.
For example " What is the effect of notorious fast food eating" where he eats crazy amounts of fast food for a couple of weeks under medical supervision.
Well, some experiments are a bit crazy, others quite interesting.

is Jenke currently experimenting the effect of steroids on himself?

anyway, there are only few German athletes that have my sympathy, and Jan is one of them.
I hope for him the doping-related court cases didn't drain him financially. To be sure, I don't think they did. And his name is probably still clean enough to do some commercials here and there.

No, they didn't. He still has around $10 million in the bank. Does not have a heavy lifestyle so he will be fine

After I thought Ulle and Rasmussen come out as the big losers/scapegoats from the dark era, while others come away completely unscathed... it is the complete opposite. Nobody would have imagined such stark turns of events.

Ulle gives TV appearences, and LA soon is completely forgotten... skip that, only remembered as the biggest sports fraud among big sports frauds (Bonds, McGwire, Johnson, Marion Jones, Horner).
I still think I am dreaming. Holy $hit.

Good for Ulle, even though I doubt he has 10 million left. But even 2 or 3 shall be enough for a good work-free life.

ahhh yes. tobias steinhauser, thnx for the correction.

 

[roundabout]

I am watching Jenke on RTL right now and try as I might I can't really warm up to Jan.

His statement about having "earned" his TdF win puts him right in the ******* category.

Thanks for the reminder, advertising right it now it seems.

“Armstrong was a champion but he became what he became thanks to medicine. Everyone knew that. Jan Ullrich was a lot more talented than he was. If he'd lived like a rider should, history would have been different. The German was the really talented one, not the American.”

“I wouldn't make the same mistakes that I made. I wouldn't dope, or I'd at least do it differently.”

Just let him race, I'd love to see him going full genius on drops.

There's a reason why practically everyone in the peleton liked and had great respect for Ullrich.

Why because he implied Ulrich was fat and lazy

Damn, that really puts things in perspective. Seems like Jan has been gone for ages and yet he's younger than Horner.

Ullrich more talented than Lance?

Ulrich was trained from youth in East Germany. The natural talent was better there.

Ulrich was trained from youth in East Germany. The natural talent was better there.

Brother Stefan ran the world juniors in the 800m. Became a T-Mobile mechanic. Athletic talent ran through the family.

More importantly he had the love of his mother:

Der Kaiser's mother is a loyal supporter of her son's efforts. "I always watch the Tour and start work early when the race is on so I can see the race later. I start work at seven in the morning and get back home at half past three. It's hard though. Stefan (Ullrich's brother and T-Mobile mechanic) called me after the first time trial to calm me down. And Jan sent me a text message the next morning saying: 'Mum, don't worry - everything is under control."'

It seems that Frau Katz wasn't convinced. "Of course it wasn't under control, but now he's overcome that blow and got over it. I know that Jan is in great form. Had he been at full power in the first time trial, he would never have lost a minute to Lance. He'll definitely give the fans something to cheer and he will show in the mountains how well prepared he is for the Tour."

Don't bump this thread...

It makes me remember all the painful years of Jan playing second fiddle to Lance...

And yes.. I liked Ullrich better. Mostly because he seemed more human compared to that medical experiment.....

I remember back in 97' when Jan took over from Riis..
Everyone was certain he would replace Indurain and become as dominant as him if not more...

Maybe if he had I would have disliked him too...

Funny world...
