Jan Ullrich
“I am surprised at the news, but I think it is a good thing. If he starts the race, I think it will be exciting for the Tour. When he attacks, the others will have to hold on. He will not be returning to win second place. I have no urge to return. I have other plans in life and I am not missing anything. I am happy with my life. You should never say never, but it is not something I have thought about. We have different stories, he retired after a victory, I retired after a disappointment. I wish him luck.”
