"Obviously frustrated by another health setback, Jan accelerated a bit too much in his Porsche. He rammed into a bicycle stand outside Fribourg station. He was later stopped by the police. He had to give a blood sample and surrender his driver's license," confirmed manager Wolfgang Strohband. Alcohol had also been involved, the 1997 Tour winner had drunk "a few glasses of wine". The Freiburg public prosecutor's office launched an investigation into allegations of traffic offenses. The horror news from the Black Forest almost left Telekom officials speechless. "He had slight problems with his damaged knee again in training and had to sit out training for three days until today. But he will probably be able to continue tomorrow. I still believe in the Tour," says team boss Rudy Pévenage. However, the prospects for a Tour start on July 6 in Luxembourg do not sound too confident. After a training break of around four weeks in March and April, Ullrich should return to racing on May 22nd for the Tour of Bavaria after a three-week build-up program. "If he can't ride in Bavaria, it will be very, very late for the Tour," conceded Pévenage, who visited Ullrich in Merdingen on Thursday after his ride. The ailing Ullrich may now have to change his plans and concentrate on the Tour of Spain in September. (Source: sda)
