It's almost typical Jan Ullrich, he rely's solely on his talent to get him through a tour, which as we've seen just doesn't work. The man is a monster in terms of power, but he doesn't have it all put together, and maybe he never will.
Maybe it wasn't Jan's fault as much as it was just a miscommunication between him and his team. He is new to the team, and as a team, they should have been on the radio to the next riders to tell them what happened when they were out there riding. I don't think it was Jan being typical Jan- it was Jan's teammates again not acting as a team to warn him about what's happening on the course. Too bad for Jan.
I'm sure Jan will click a bit more with his team and develop better communication so he doesn't make the same mistake for his upcoming races.
