Cycling Legend Jan Ullrich in Car Crash: Star Reveals from Hospital Bed
Post-Accident Update: Hospitalized Jan Ullrich Speaks from His Bed - Hospital has released Jan Ullrich.
Hey there, folk!
Gotta share some rough news with y'all - our buddy, Jan Ullrich, former Tour de France champ, had a bit of a run-in with a darn car during a training ride, and it wasn't pretty. Jan spilled the beans himself in an Instagram post, flashing a thumbs up from his hospital bed! He promised his pal Rick Zabel (yep, another cycling legend) he'd fill us in the juicy details on their podcast "Ulle & Rick" next week.
Sadly, Jan didn't drop any specifics about the injuries he's dealing with right now. But the fine folks over at Eurosport did some sleuthing and shared that Jan was nursing a broken collarbone, some bruises, and a few scratches from the smash-up. It all went down near his humble abode in Merdingen, Germany.
Due to his bumps and bruises, Jan had to cancel his scheduled guest appearances on Eurosport this weekend. But keep your eyes peeled for the "Jan Ullrich Cycling Festival" next weekend in Bad Dürrheim – the man's determined to keep on pedaling!
