Ullrich was forced out of this year's Tour on the eve of the race. He had been considered a leading contender.

Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997 and was runner-up five times to Lance Armstrong, was pulled out of the race after Spanish media reports said his name turned up on a list of 56 cyclists who had contact with the doctor.
