Tour de France 2003 Individual Time Trial Ullrich vs. Armstrong

[schusterlehrling]

it was the year armstrng crushed the bike of leiseika four times on stage and he did not get üunished.

he also rode out track and that should have been a six minute penatly as well if rules were applied.

@thisisobvious he would have did better in the TT i think but not enough to win. Since he was like 6 secs behind Armstrong at the end and I dont think Armstrong slowed down. But Ullrich should have attacked on Stage 13 when Armstrong was tired or Bianchi(sp?) should have did better in TTT and supported Jan more.

[DerUnbeugsame38]

he is the greatest although he was seven times second

[YiftertheShifter1]

@DerUnbeugsame38 No he was second five times: '96, '98, '00, '01, '03. He was 4th in 2004 and 3rd in 2005.

[thisisobvious]

it must be a time trialists' worst nightmare to ride in the wet... I would love to know what would have happened if Jan hadn't crashed.

INDURAIN ES EL MEJOR D TODOS LOS TIEMPOS SOLO MIRA COMO EN LA CONTRA RELOJ ,LO HUMILLO INDURAIN

[MrStonecold69]

if armstrong had not been in that era ullrich would now be called the greatest rder of the tdf

he finisished second SEVEN TIMES

UNBELIEVABLE

[davd1986]

Ullrich always crossed himself before a time trial. He didn't that stage. I wonder whether that was an omen of things to come?
