Ullrich happy with his second places

Former German cyclist Jan Ullrich, who finished runner-up to Lance Armstrong three times in the Tour de France, said he was proud of his second places and indifferent as to whether he was handed the American’s titles.

“I’ve ended my career and I have always said that I’m proud of my second places,” Ullrich, runner-up to Armstrong in 2000, 2001 and 2003, told the Deutsche Presse Agentur On Friday.

“It doesn't really bother me that much.”
