Oops! Cycling Mishap Sidelines Jan Ullrich from TV Shows
Hospitalized: Former Tennis Star Jan Ullrich Admitted for Health Issues
Hey there! You won't believe what happened to cycling legend, Jan Ullrich. Just days away from his TV appearances, the guy's in a real pickle! A road hog didn't give him the right of way while Jan was cruising on his training route, resulting in a not-so-smooth landing for the former champ.
The 51-year-old cycling icon sustained a clavicle fracture, bruises, and some gruesome road rash after being hit by a careless vehicle near his home in Merdingen, Black Forest. So much for taking a leisurely ride, huh?
Looks like Jan will have to scrap his planned appearance on Eurosport's Velo Club. With the Giro d'Italia stages peaking his interest, he was all geared up to offer expert insight from the live show this past Saturday and Sunday. Well, we all know plans can go belly up in a heartbeat!
With an exciting cycling festival lined up for May 17 and 18 in Bad Dürrheim, featuring several star cyclists, including Ullrich's long-time rival Lance Armstrong, we're hoping this unfortunate incident won't put a dampener on the event. Stay tuned for more updates!
