Wow, indeed. But I'm still surprised his staff let him do such things.
It's going to be funny until the day he'll get injured.
He's an amazing acrobat on the bike. Though you're right, how the hell the staff encourages this is beyond comprehension. If this video is recorded now, one week before the Tour, it's even crazier!
Already mentioned it in other thread. The thing i don't like is that P.Z.Kol.'s (Polish cycling federation) main sponsor is...CCC Polsat Polkowice. We can expect something like that:

Ullrich has confessed blood doping
And he goes level playing field again...
Hey UCI, we can't successfully ban the use of EPO, but how about banning the use of "level playing field"?
I'm thoroughly surprised by the comments on the biggest German media sites though. No aimple cycling bashing, rather "it's in all sports", "what else should he have done with Armstrong's development"....is this the same Germany we're talking about?
Well, he probably doped for his whole career, and every one around did, so why'd he quit ?
The ones he spoiled were the likes of Bassons, and I believe more and more others since the early 2000's, but they were never in the same league as him (for obvious reasons), so he probably feels he didn't rob them (which he still probably did).
Now, why on earth did he have to come public about it, just one week before le Tour ?
I don't think Ullrich is going to be like most riders and say he didn't dope for [best career performances]

His final race will be Vuelta al Tachira en Bicicleta, where he hopes to win it for the fourth time. That's it for him, then. Lot of talent wasted, his career, imo.
