The photo is misleading - he's no doubt breathing very deeply and this causes the stomach to expand. Look at his arms - skinny. Ullrich always gains kilos over the winter but come his rendezvous with the Tour he's shed them.

Nah, I like patch70's suggestion better. After all, if pros do it, it's not so bad if I do too. ![]() |

A lot of pros use stomach breathing to increase lung capacity. Greg LeMond, who used to also gain a lot of weight in the winter, often was mistaken for being overweight for this very same reason. - n -

From an interview of Cadel Evans by Duncan Steele:
Dunc: Looking at this team photo of the presentation and some others of Ullrich at the TDF, he really does get round faced during the winter doesn't he? CE: Yeah, and this year he is lighter than other years. He puts on 10kgs or so. Found at: http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=2085 |

Sorry guys... noone comments on fatty Armstrong if you look at that picture? Noone put them side by side and saw that clearly the pictures aren't saying a thing?
It seems to be clear that LA is in a lot better shape, yet on that picture he looks like MR. Michelin. this invalidates the picture of Ulrich at one stroke. What amuses me most that it seems none of you guys ever met *fatty* Ulrich. You will be shocked (and horrified if you ever met Erik Dekker ...ewwww)
