They should erase the Jan’s name and put Armstrong’s on the bike, so it will be a bike on drugs and will go faster..

Wait, you mean this is really a fake story? I thought the term “Fake” in the name of the news service was pronounced Fah-kay, and it was just another stupid french news service with their slant on things. geesh……

TWL – Jan Ullrich is a German cyclist who has been disgraced via the Spanish drug scandal, his blood was found in the clutches of an evil sports doctor. The Jan “retired” , so now his bike line has suffered. Thus the tounge-in-cheek fake news story so well written by FC. I think FC has a thing for Jan, as his weight yo-yo’s like his hero. Ullrich often stater the season looking like me, then proceded to slim down and dominate. Many have speculated this transformation was not always on the up-and-up, so his problems are of no surprise. Yet, he was still one of the most popular and colorful characters in the peloton, probably because he was alway chasing Lance, but could never catch him. He could push a big gear at a slow cadance, andwas an excellent time trialer. I’m going to miss him.

This thread mystifies me for some reason, like a private family joke that I’m not in on.

I’ll tell you what, though, one reason for poor sales in the US is that Ullrich’s website is pretty much mispelled. I can’t tell a damn thing about what they’re talking about.

I just got back from my LBS to check out price and availablity on the Jan’s bike. They said they had some they would discount due to cosmetic bleamishes. Seem a Mr Dick Pound came with armed with a cordless saws-all and a warrant and proceeded to cut up several frames to see what sort of performance enhancing drugs might be hiding in the tubes. Nothing but brautwurst, sauerkraut and apple dumplings. The Jan doesnt live on EPO alone. I’m pretty good with a tig welder, so maybe…..
