Ullrich up for 'epic' with Armstrong

JAN ULLRICH believes six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong's decision to quit after this year's race in July has set up a classic confrontation.

"I couldn't be more motivated. I'm working like mad to be in top condition and I suspect it'll be the same for him in his last Tour.

"It should be an epic race," said the 1997 Tour winner and five-time runner-up.
