Team Tinkoff Credit Systems has expressed its interest in signing Jan Ullrich. Now the team is fearful for what the star rider might do if he fails to find a new team. "I am terribly worried about what might happen to Jan this year if he doesn't know if he will ever race again," team manager Omar Piscina said on the German TV show "Heimspiel". Piscinia drew parallels to the fate of former Tour winner Marco Pantani, who died of a cocaine overdose.
