Ullrich turns to cyclosportive racing

under the pseudonym Max Kraft? WTF why the drama of anonymity?

More like Max HeadRoom!

Is he just looking for love or is he really going to put out some "max power'?

"Homer to the Max" is the thirteenth episode of The Simpsons' tenth season, which originally broadcast on February 7, 1999.[1] Homer discovers that a television show broadcasting in Springfield, Police Cops, has a hero also named Homer Simpson. He is delighted with the positive attention he receives because of the show. However, when the television character is changed from a hero to a bumbling idiot, Homer is mocked and taunted by those he knows, so he changes his name to "Max Power" to rid himself of the negative attention. He gains new friends, and is forced into a protest to prevent a forest from being knocked down. In the end, "Max" changes his name back to Homer. It was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Pete Michels.[2] Overall, the episode received a Nielsen rating of 8.5.[3]

I would say that his life has paralleled this in a lot of ways.

Well, to be fair, the article posted in the OP says Ulle is getting into cyclosportives to raise money for charity. So, from that standpoint, Max Power to him.

I agree. have fun with it

Ullrich is doing it wrong. The proper way to ride for charity is to spend a bunch of the charity money on a chalkbot for self-aggrandizement.

A legendary episode! I had Homer's Max Power "Theme Song" stuck in my head after I read that article . Would be awesome if that was where Ulle got the idea for the name, because if it is then he has risen even higher in my opinion
