Klöden on Ullrich, the German media and staying motivated

Andreas Klöden walked into the hotel lobby weighed down by two heavy shopping bags from the supermarket across the road. After putting in an extra couple of hours alone at the end of the first group ride of Radio Shack’s Calpe training camp, the German had returned too late for lunch and was forced to improvise. No matter. All his career he has been thinking on his feet. Doing what it takes.
