Kick back, folks! Your favorite cycling legend, Jan Ullrich, ain't got much to pedal for the moment. Guess what landed him in the hospital with a busted collarbone, a few bruises, and some road rash? A darn car! Yep, you heard it right. On a sunny Friday, the 51-year-old ex-pro cyclist collided with a vehicle while cruising on his racing bike. Seems the four-wheeler failed to yield, causing a hitch near his Black Forest abode, as eurosport.de reported[1].
When Cycling Goes Wrong
Ullrich, a fixtures at Eurosport's Velo Club, apparently had some exciting expert appearances lined up after the Giro d'Italia stages on Saturday and Sunday[1]. But alas, his accidental encounter with the car left him with no choice but to have a hospital stay on Friday evening[1].
Speaking of attendance, Ullrich had also planned a cycling festival with some former star pals in Bad Dürrheim, set for May 17 and 18[1]. Big names like Lance Armstrong were expected to roll up, but with Ullrich out of commission, it's unclear if his guests will still show up like clockwork[1]. Sources are hush-hush about potential cancellations or impacts on the event[1].
In the excitement, let's remember that Jan Ullrich is no stranger to the cycling world. This accident might cause some speed bumps in his plans, but our champion is known to bounce back[2]. Keep your fingers crossed for his speedy recovery!
