BDF Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I reckon that's what endeared him to so many people too... #thepiestruggleisreal He was also a gentlemen though Did he eat with his mouth closed? Bateleur1 1
Andrew Steer Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Classic Jan Ullrich . . . . :-)More this NickGM, Gen, Bonus and 1 other 4
Gen Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Impossible to gauge really, but I reckon Jan with some of Lance's attributes (discipline/determination/focus) would have knocked Merckx out the park... We know Lance's VO2max as an example was nothing all that spectacular - 84 if I recall?Actually not a clue what Ullrichs was, but remember LeMond's figures were in the 90'sYou mean if he just had some of the discipline [emoji6] Edited September 20, 2016 by Gen
Gen Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I love how this thread has become a Jan thread.. keep going I am loving it[emoji6] Grogs, Andrew Steer and Bateleur1 3
Bonus Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Given that Jan Ullrichs initial training was in East Germany (The GDR) before the wall came down, I'm surprised his discipline wasn't better. On the other hand, maybe that's "why" his discipline wasn't better. I was in east Germany once and there were not many cakes around. BDF, Andrew Steer, DIPSLICK and 1 other 4

Andrew Steer Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 http://www.topendsports.com/testing/records/vo2max.htm Seems lance and Fwoomey have the same V02 max... a smidge below Indurain'sYeah, not sure about that list... looks very outdated for the large part, and not very complete to say the least... and Froome as Fromme doesn't help the confidence either Contador is in the 90's too apparently... strange there isn't a more confidence inspiring list out there...
Shebeen Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 My attempt to turn it into a Pole Vaulting thread failed miserably...the biggest travesty of the olympics was that they banned the russians. that in itself is ok, but they should have let the pole vaulters go.

jcza Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Legend he is - singlehandedly saved cycling from them pesky Festina dopers. Wonder who the next saviour will be?
