Ullrich training and negotiating

By Susan Westemeyer

Things are looking up again for Jan Ullrich. The German rider is training full-time from his home in Switzerland, both on the road and in the gym, his spokesman Michael Lang told Cyclingnews Tuesday.

Ullrich still plans to head for a training camp, but will wait until he signs with a new team. That signing will be sometime the end of January or beginning of February. Talks are currently underway with five teams, two ProTour and three Pro-Continental, most recent being Acqua & Sapone.
