Oops! Jan Ullrich Injured in Bike Accident, Affecting TV Appearances
Athletic icon Jan Ullrich admitted to hospital.
Hop on your bikes, folks! It's a bummer for cycling enthusiasts as former pro Jan Ullrich has taken a spill. Ullrich, 51, living in Merdingen, Black Forest, was hit by a reckless driver while out for a spin on his race bike last Friday, resulting in a clavicle fracture, road rashes, and some bruises.
Unfortunately, this mishap means Ullrich has to punt a couple of TV stints on Eurosport's Velo Club. He was all set to hang out in the live show after the Giro d'Italia stages on Saturday and Sunday, providing expert insights. Yikes!
Ullrich had been pumped about a cycling festival with bike legends like Lance Armstrong from the US, scheduled for May 17 and 18 in Bad Dürkheim. The man himself had said, "I'm mad excited and super proud we've managed to pull this together." But we don't have the latest scoop about the accident's repercussions on the event just yet.
Fuel your cycling passion with Jan Ullrich's festival!
