If it isn't a couple of extra pounds, or flying off his bike into the rear window of the support car to start the Tour, it's always something with Jan Ullrich, y'know?Here's the latest:
Former Tour de France winner has knee trouble
Posted at 6:15am on 30 Mar 2006
Former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich has delayed the start of his season because of pains in his knee. T-Mobile doctor Andreas Schmid says Ullrich's current problems are not related to his injury and subsequent operation in 2002, and therefore he will not take any chance and will only train lightly in the coming days. The German should now start his season with the Tour de Romandie in Switzerland from April 25 to 30.
Ullrich says there's no point complaining. He says he wants to put the knee trouble behind him and get on with a structured build-up to the Tour (de France).

He will "kneed" all he can muster as the field is shark invested these days. I still believe however will take the TDF with 2+ minutes to spare.
