Based on his performance today in Stiphout against Alessandro Petacchi, winner of multiple sprint
stages in the Giro and Tour de France, it's easy to see why Ullrich will win the Tour next year-
he plans on taking the flat stage time bonuses in the field sprints. His crushing victory over
Italian fastman Petacchi shows he is clearly a better sprinter than LANCE.

Sheaaahhh... Petacchi was probably paid more to LOSE than Ullrich was paid to win.

Bang on Tony. Ullrich is the uber-sprinter of his generation. He just chooses not to during the
flatter stages of the Tour to let the career sprinters have a chance. He coulda won the Tour on time
bonuses, but that's not the real man's way to beat LANCE.

LANCE is clearly superior against the likes of Bernhard Eisel and Rene Haselbacher, but against a
pure fast twitch rider like Ullrich, he has to take second place.

In Stiphout, Ullrich won the sprint by 12 seconds. I mean, is that a hell of a jump or what???!?

uh yeah, those post TDF criteriums are fixed. ie: the winner is decided ahead of time. so sorry, no.

The man does it once! He'll have to show more than that.......plus if Lance reacts first (which he
usually does) Jan will be sitting there trying to figure out what is happening.......much like on
the climbs............ Ullrich will never win 5 tours.........may one more that it.......... Then
all the young and up and come youngsters are going to kick the old guys...........
unfortunately.......you can't beat youth........I know......I'm old.

This also explains why Telekom want Ullrich back as per another thread in rbr. Clearly they would
like Zabel to be his lead out man now that Zabel is getting a bit to slow to win sprints himself.

And a tard. I don't think your difficulties with pedalling a bicycle are entirely due to degredation
of your muscles Dale.

The mouth breathing and head banging aren't conducive to good cycling form.
