In the German newspaper Tz, Jan Ullrich has confirmed offers received by three teams, notably his
former employer Team Telekom. Although Ullrich has indicated an inclination to stay with Team
Bianchi, he at the same time is eager to see the team's plans solidified for the coming season, and
is willing to entertain other offers.
"At the moment I've been given three offers," Ullrich said. "I'm not ruling anything out."
Team Telekom's manager Walter Godefroot has announced that he would happily welcome Ullrich back to
the team, however Ullrich's mentor (and Bianchi directeur sportif) Rudy Pevenage would not likely be
part of the package. Pevenage left Godefroot's side at Telekom to follow Ullrich to Team Coast, then
Bianchi. Ullrich, for his part, said that the quality of the team is the most important factor in
any decision.
"It's not a question of money," he insisted. "For me, what's always been most important has been the
sport. For that reason, Bianchi needs to give me confirmation of certain things: who are the
sponsors? Who are the other members of the team? We still need to discuss these issues."
