T-MOBILE
TOURMINATOR OR NOT? Should Jan Ullrich manage to take the yellow jersey, their T-Mobile team is strong enough to
withstand any challenge. But the bad news for Ullrich is that his best chance
of overcoming Lance Armstrong lies in the single long time trial — which
takes place on the second-to-last day.
