Some Bloke T-Boned by a Ride in a Pinch: Jan Ullrich Dishes on Crash Incident
- Oh, stop yer whingin', I'm talkin' 'ere!*
Collided head-on, as detailed by Ullrich - Head Impact: Ullrich Terms It as a Direct Collision to the Forehead
January Jingle-Jangles, that bloke with the Tour de France thingy under his belt, has finally cracked open about his recent run-in with a motor car. On the duckin' first of May, he was clouted by a jalopy whilst peddlin' 'is bike near 'is ‘ome, coppin' a proper belt on the left side and fracturin' 'is kneecap as well as pickin' up a bit of road rash and other assorted bruises.
"I'm still feelin' a right pain in the arse," spilt the 51-year-old to his poddy, "Ulle 'n' Rick," with his old mate, Rick Zabel - a tearaway on two wheels. "I were just fancyin' a bit of a spin, loosin' the saddle, when this driver came along, decided they couldn't be arsed checkin' for blokes afoot, and plowed right into me, fair and square!"
On this very Wednesday, Jingle-Jangles were still in the hospital over in Freiburg, "Now, it ain't never easy dealin' with the pain, but I only got the one drain left. I had four yesterday," he chuckled. Despite the fact that he's as sore as a gipper, he's arranged to poke his nose in at the "Jan Ullrich Cycling Jamboree" over this fine weekend in Bad Dürrheim, although he won't be showin' off his two legs on a bike - "But not on the bluddy bike!"
