Jan in form for tour

Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) posted a spectacular win in the Tour of Switzerland after overturning a 50-second deficit on yesterday's final stage, a 30-kilometre time trial in Berne.

The German clocked the fastest time of the day to win the stage by 23 seconds from the Australian Cadel Evans (Davitamon Lotto) and was more than a minute faster than overnight leader Koldo Gil (Saunier Duval).

That gave Ullrich the overall win and confirmed that he is in shape to challenge Ivan Basso (CSC) for next month's Tour de France.
