BIANCHI (Ullrich)
STEPHEN: Ullrich didn’t ride in 2002, but Armstrong’s biggest rival returns for this year’s race. He’s already said he cannot win, but he’s always dangerous when he gets on the bike. He’s not riding for the fun of it. Casero’s also a threat, winning the Vuelta in 2001. Team Coast, their previous incarnation, got robbed of a bid last year, so it’s nice to see them in this year.
JASON: This team was formed last month so that Ullrich could get a paycheck (Team Coast couldn’t pay their riders) and get into the Tour. It’s good to have him in it, but he’s definitely not in great form. He and Casero are both dangerous and capable of the top 5. Ullrich may be out of condition, but that’s how talented he is.
STEPHEN: It's tough to throw together a team in a month, even one centered on guys as talented as Ullrich and Casero. And Ullrich is not a threat to beat the machine that is Lance. Maybe if he was in shape.
