CYCLE SPORT: MARCH 2006
UNITED THEY STAND
Jan Ullrich is going into the 2006 season motivated and supported like never before. His T-Mobile Tour de France squad will have but one objective come July: to propel 'Der Jan' to a second Tour win, nearly years after the first.
MARCHING TO THE QUICK STEP BEAT
How do you follow a season like the one Quick Step had last year? Simple. You wind up Tom Boonen and one or two others like Olympic champ Paolo Bettini and put them on shiny new bikes witha new brief: go and win the races you missed out on in '05 boys.
TEAM LISTING
We present Cycle Sport's in-depth guide to every top-flight team lining up for the season ahead, with graphics of all the jerseys and profiles of all the stars.
TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Sprint legends Erik Zabel and Alessandro Petacchi could be a formiddable finishing act. Will we witness the greatest sprint squad in history in 2006? The two fastmen-newly united, and newly friends- think so.
CSC TEAM ROLLER!
Cycle Sport gets exclusive access to the CSC training camp and finds a team with enough ambition to satisfy its visionary directeur sportif, Bjarne Riis.
LEIPHEIMER OF FAITH
Last year's Tour of Germany performance by Levi Leipheimer was a breakthrough moment for the man from Montana, and the Gerolsteiner team is giving him all the support he needs to go even better this year.
BELGIUM'S OTHER TEAM
With race wins galore and quality in depth, Davitamon-Lotto didn't like being overshadowed by its Tom Boonen-led Quick Step rival last year. But in 2006 it's determined the situation will not arise.
BAPTISM OF FIRE
New UCI president Pat McQuaid talks to Cycle Sport about the stormy start to his new job.
