Is Ullrich fat???

OK, every one keeps talking about how over weight Ullrich is. The TDF
rider Profile lists rider weight giving Armstrong at 75KG and Ullrich at
only 73KG. Ullrich looks bigger?

Maybe they meant 173KG

Apparently Ullrich lost 5 kg just a month before the TDF; you cannot do
that and maintain your ability. I suspect he would need another month
(or more) to train at this weight. LA was at or close to his TDF weight
for some time.

I think Ulrich trained too hard this winter, look at these "body
builder" legs, horrible!

First, don't believe the TdF website's stated weights - in fact, I would say
take any weight you see given for any pro rider anywhere with a big grain of
salt.

Second, photos of Ullrich seem to show him as being quite lean - too lean,
perhaps, especially if he lost significant amounts of weight in his run-up
to the Tour?
