He needed to make some room for that new muscle mass...looks like he really bulked up!

Is that a current photo? If so it's great that he is on the bike and hopefully getting to a better place mentally.

I've seen several blurbs about him recently that seem to indicate he's at least back on track. Riding or not, great to see him in a better place than he was the last few years.

That's a pretty swanky bike.....Storck Aernario.....with LW's of course!

It's a pretty distorted photo, so I wouldn't try to infer anything about his bike position. (Check the relative wheel sizes -- it makes his bars look higher than they really are.)

Looks like a climbing position to me.

Looks like an old picture, prior to his problems.

Even if that is older photo, I hope Ullrich is doing well and looking that good now, today.
The position looks fine, pretty normal for him.

What a rider. I always liked liked him a lot, I guess also because of his humanity.

I even would buy RP Ekynox just because of him; he must have been responsible for millions of sales simply because of those iconic photos of him behind them while Phil Liggett yammered away.


Edit: I see he is wearing Northwave shoes in that photo.
When he was racing, was he always on Adidas, or did he use Northwave also even back then?

Think mid 2019...

Yeah, LA is why I didn't post the link. But the page is mid 2019, so not so old?? And I got the impression post rehab...
