  1. I don't know how good this report is, but according to a fan
    who was actually on course at the Circuit de la Sarthe-Pays
    de la Loire, Jan is as beefy as ever he was and was doing
    under 10 klicks on some of the small Sarthian hills.

    Yeah, Jan is taking his time to get in form. But it's
    nothing that a few "disco vitamins" won't correct.

    Maybe that's what Murks needs too.

    Jeepers did you see him lately?

    What's funnier is that he thought it was a good excuse. "Ya,
    I was tak'n ecstasy in a club. I don't take performance
    drugs," he pleaded with the UCI. (Or something to that
    effect.) I suppose it is possible that he really was just
    casually chomping down on disco biscuits and that they
    really did contain some of the performance drugs that were
    tested for. Either way, he screwed up big time.

    I don't hold it against him. He came back and proved himself
    enough for me. I like Jan. I want to watch him and Lance
    duke it out this summer. If he's not in form, I will be
    disappointed.

    Ecstasy is a variant of methamphetamine ... And will show up
    positive in a drug test for same. Methamphetamine, as a
    stimulant, can be a performance enhancer in competition, but
    it pretty useless in training.

    Ullrich, due to his knee injury, was neither racing nor
    training at the time he was surprise tested.

    And he came clean right away ... No excuses, no denials.

    For this, I will always respect Ullrich ... He screwed
    up, he admitted it, and he did his time without
    complaint, and came back to nearly kick some Armstrong
    ass in the 2003 Tour.

    - Amusing to see that you call Jan fat. Trust me on this one... only compared to the anorexic other riders does he look fat. I am skinny, yet I look like the michelin-man compared to him.
    - 10 klicks an hour uphill? That's actually not unlikely... as he was probably doing power-training: Big gear very slowly uphill. Noone in his right mind thinks even an untrained Jan is close to slow uphill. The guy has a lot of talent.

    And contrary to the heading of the string he ain't fat.

  10. It's so early to tell. I mean none of you are absolutely
    sure either way of his fitness. He looks big now, but I
    would not be surprised if he arrives in France a total
    power house.

    I would also not be surprised if a bunch of unknowns come to
    the forefront this year, leaving Jan and LA behind.

    It could happen.

    You mean strength training, not power training.

    I guess so🙂 One of those times it shows I am not natively speaking English.
