heard on OLN today while watching the taped replay of tour de georgia that Lars Michaelsen, CSC, also lives in Tuscanycyclingheroes said:
that has to be quite a challenge. all that temptation.
...i could see why jan and others would live and train there, obviously.
The news this week is about Jan Ullrich’s return to racing. Der Kaiser finally started his season after a knee flareup caused him to ease up on his training. The result is that Ullrich is behind in form yet again, and reporters, newsmen, bloggers and fans are all wondering just how fat is Jan Ullrich?

He looks fine in those pictures..... maybe this whole knee thing is a LA styled bluff and Jan has been training his **** off and will win the tour by over 20 minutes ? You never know.....

We can live in hope, but not 20 minutes, that would be boring. Lets say he's 50 seconds down before the last TT then shreds the competition there to win by two minutes or somethingwhiteboytrash said:He looks fine in those pictures..... maybe this whole knee thing is a LA styled bluff and Jan has been training his **** off and will win the tour by over 20 minutes ?

Looks like he's in pretty good shape here.

Ullrich looks in good shape all right.
Giro will tell a lot for JU : if he completes the Giro (and I believe he will), it is game on at the TDF.
Looks to be pacing himself back to top form nicely.

Agreed : I want to see every contender coming in and doing their best, regardless of their team/nationality.
he lost ten pounds in the haircut alone. I think he looks good here. He will crush the field on the corones.... did you all see these shots?bobke said:

In about 30 minutes i will go to Seraing (Liège) i am exited that the first grand tour will start today, by the way Jan said in a pressconference yesterday that he wants to win the Giro but not this year. A couple of months ago i already heard that Jan wants to race in 2007 as well, but won't focus on the TdF alone anymore (that it was all or nothing this year), he would focus on the Giro and the Ardennes... Pevenage said (yesterday) that he believes Jan will race another couple of years.limerickman said:

CH : enjoy yourself in Liège (you lucky bugger!).
I think all cycling fans look forward to the start of the GT's season, I know I do.
That's a very positive view expressed by Pev and JU.
Hopefully the first two weeks will be easy enough for JU to find some form before the really big mountains. All the stages up to stage 16 are OK, with either only one mountain in them or two but a downhill finish. Then 17,19,20 will cause a fair few rides to bail out. Tough stages for the autobus as well as the lead contenders. Hopefully JU's form will have picked up enough by those three killer stages to mean he has a chance of completing them, then competing in July .
