Altig on Ullrich, "I'm tired of his excuses"
Former World Champion and German cycling legend Rudi Altig, 68, says he is tired of Jan Ullrich's excuses for not doing better. "He earns 250,000 a month but doesn't give anything back to cycling." Altig noted that "Last year he won the Tour de Suisse, this year he lost it in the mountains and then they tell us, he is stronger than ever."
Furthermore, "Before the Time Trial, Jan said that he didn't have any more pain from his crash. Afterwards he said that it had affected him. I can't take that any more!"
Altig agreed with Eddy Merckx in doubting Ullrich's mental strength: "In his head he has to really want to beat Armstrong. Physically, he can do it. But I think Jan just doesn't enjoy his job enough anymore." He says that his criticism is meant to motivate Ullrich. "I like Jan. He can beat Armstrong. I want him to finally live up to his capabilities."

His excuse thise year should be "I'm supporting Vino".
on the last stage I bet he falls 10 feet from the line just so he has an excuse
Jan is going to get hit in the head with a Tomato or something while in Germany. T-Mobile pumped him up this year and he isnt doing crap to try to get up there and compete. Oh well, maybe he has a plan of some sort, what is he like 1:30 back or something. Thats a lot of time to make up and its not like Discovery or CSC is going to let him get very far ahead without bringing the peleton down on him to eat him up like the bratworst that he is... with extra mustard of suckyness.
No doubt, that guy is just itching to be leader.Westy said:Ha, you funny lady.

George takes his job very seriously.
