Cycle: Ullrich returns to Telekom

By Patrick Vignal

BERLIN, Oct 4 Reuters - Former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich is returning to Team
Telekom in a bid to challenge Lance Armstrong's supremacy in the world's greatest cycle

Ullrich competed for the German stable from 1995 to 2002, becoming the first German
to win the Tour with them in 1997.

Team Telekom - to be re-named T-Mobile - said the 29-year-old German, regarded as the
