Jan Ullrich to race this weekend
Getting a feel for what he could do with a possible comeback? Maybe? (stirring the pot...)

2nd in TdF *FIVE* times. If LA gets his palmares revised does Jan become a legend of the sport?

Riis doped, admittedly. Ullrich finished second. ... revision ... Ullrich wins his first TdF.

Armstrong doped. Ullrich finished second three times. ... revision ... He wins his third, fourth and fifth TdFs.

He is therefore tied with Merckx, Hinault and Anquetil.

(I'm figuring you can't prove Pantani doped.)

Good for him for trying to stay in shape after he retired.. it doesn't sound like too many pros do that.

I thought he had delved into the world of German stock-car racing . . . ?

An appropriate announcement as today is National Doughnut Day!!!

How fat are we getting? Do we really need a national day to honor doughnuts?!!

Anyways, get yourself to the nearest Krispy Kream as they're giving out FREE DONUTS all day!!!

Or as Homer would say, "mmmm, donuts..."

Ullrich is my hero, destined for 2nd year after year, he still showed up for a fight.

Except the police matched some bags at Fuentes' to Ullrich's DNA. Who was third in those years?
