Infos

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Jan Ullrich was a professional cyclist who was widely expected to win the Tour de France in 1997. He had been second place to Bjarne Riis the previous year. Pressure was building in the Deutsche Telekom camp over the first week and a half of racing, and Ullrich s room-mate, Jens Heppner, spoke for many of the Telekom riders when he told Ullrich that he was stronger than Riis.#2 Ullrich s attack marked the arrival of a new virtuoso. It was a moment of exhilarating performance, and it redrew the sport s landscape within a matter of minutes.#3 The heady quarter of an hour since his attack, no comparison had seemed too outlandish. How many Tours would Ullrich end up winning. In the coming days, Bernard Hinault predicted that Ullrich would be unbeatable for the next ten years.#4 Greg LeMond, a former champion, had grown disillusioned with what professional cycling had become. He had heard about Ullrich, and was curious to see for himself. He came to feel that everything that had enraptured him when he had seen the Tour for the first time in 1994 was present in 2017.
