Description
Jan Ullrich: The Best There Never Was is a gripping biography of a cycling legend who defied expectations to become a champion, only to struggle with the pressures of fame. In 1997, Ullrich's stunning performance in the Tour de France sent shockwaves through the cycling world, earning him the nickname 'The New Giant'. He went on to win the Tour, but his success was short-lived, and he struggled with mental and physical fragility, a complicated childhood, and the corrupting influence of his sport. As Daniel Friebe, a seasoned Tour de France observer, delves into Ullrich's life, he uncovers a complex and troubled individual who was both a hero and a disappointment. This is a story of how unbearable expectation, personal demons, and the darker side of sport can conspire to derail even the most promising careers. With unprecedented access and insight, Friebe sheds new light on Ullrich's remarkable story, revealing the man behind the myth and the circumstances that shaped his life.
