Jan Ullrich : the best there never was

Friebe, Daniel2022
Book
In 1997, Jan Ullrich announced himself to the world by obliterating his rivals in the first mountain stage of the Tour de France. So awesome was his display that it sent shockwaves throughout the world of cycling and invited headlines such as L'Équipe's 'The New Giant'. He went on to become Germany's first ever Tour winner, and the result was greeted as an era-defining changing of the guard. Now, Daniel Friebe - who has covered 21 editions of the Tour de France - has gone in search of the man who was said in 1997 would go on to dominate his sport for a generation, but never quite managed it.
