His victorious ride in the 1997 Tour de France led to a bicycle sports boom in Germany.
Ullrich won his first bicycle race (at school) at the age of nine. He was educated in the sports training system of the German Democratic Republic, and attended the SC Dynamo sports school in Berlin in 1986. After the fall of the Berlin wall and the reunification of Germany, Ullrich and his trainer, Peter Sager, moved to Hamburg.

The couple have a baby, Sarah, who lives with Gaby in Merdingen whilst Ullrich resides in Switzerland. They split up in 2005, allegedly due to Weiss's reluctancy to be in the limelight conflicting with Ullrich's partying habits and enjoyment of celebrity life.
