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.

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???!?

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.


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.
