Being one of the most heavily sponsored teams, expectations will be high at the German headquarters of T-Mobile. Goal: The Tour de France. Lance Armstrong won’t be there in 2006, so Jan Ullrich is expected to win. Currently he’s the only rider in the peloton who’s won it before and that experience might just be the deciding factor.


Former sprinter, and now teamboss, Olaf Ludwig invested big to make sure the victory will be with the “pink squad”. Ullrich’s supportteam will probably be: Klöden, Guerini, Sevilla, Mazzoleni (Lampre), Honchar (Domina Vacance), Rogers and Sinkewitz (Quickstep)....
