sopas said:You mean, Ullrich used the drops uphill??? I don't think i have seen him doing that many times. He was almost always in the saddle with hands on hoods. Anyway too bad Ullrich was never the same after 1997. I am convinced he could have at least won another TdF had he been in the shape of 1997.
By the way, this is somehow off topic but, how much did the bikes weight back in 1995? and how much did they weight in 2005? I guess there would be a difference of about 1-2 kilograms (3-4lbs).
Just take Armstrong out of the equation and the results change dramatically.
