WTF, the guy doesn't "know why it went so wrong", how about he crashed through the back window of a car the day previous. I don't care what Ulrich says about his health, I KNOW he had to be pretty sore yesterday. Worst possible case for him, he has that crash and then has Lance chasing him down. I'm not sure he can win, but I think he'll come back fine.
I think its amazing where he finished compared to the other GC and ITT specialists given what happened to him...stupid as it was.
