In the past, Jan Ullrich and Lance Armstrong fought bitter fights. Now both are on the bike again as friends.
That should be happy in Germany: Jan Ullrich uploaded a photo on Instagram, on which the former cyclist and Lance Armstrong poses for the “Jan Ullrich Cycling Festival”. Both wear sporty bicycle jerseys and smile relaxed in the camera. With the post office, Jan Ullrich announced the participation of Lance Armstrong in his festival, which takes place on May 17th and 18th in Bad Dürrheim in Baden-Württemberg.
Regarding the photo of the two earlier bike rivals, it says: “Great news: Welcome, Lance Armstrong! We are overjoyed and proud to announce that the legend Lance Armstrong will be there at Jan Ullrich Cycling Festival 2025 For an unforgettable experience. “
The event promises to become a highlight for cycling fans. Together with Lance Armstrong and other professionals, Ullrich wants to lead the participants through the Black Forest. And Ullrich and Armstrong will also compete against each other.
Armstrong and Ullrich both took part in the Tour de France as active drivers. At that time, today’s friends met five times at the annual cycling highlight, but Ullrich could not win against the American. In retrospect, however, Armstrong admitted doping and received all seven tour titles. Ullrich also confessed doping.
