Bjarne Riis, CSC team manager and former teammate of Jan Ullrich, has said that Ullrich still has a lot of work to do if he is to get into the
right condition to win the Tour de France. Speaking to German newsagency DPA, Riis said, "Of course Jan surprised me also with his strong time trial
performance in Karlsruhe, but by the Tour, he has to lose another five kilos."
