Winning the points competition six times in a row makes Zabel a
record holder,and the odds are almost as strong as an Armstrong victory that Germany ’s top sprinter will take it again in 2002.
With no Jan Ullrich, a seventh green jersey is top priority for Telekom. A
recent stage win in the Tour of Switzerland showed he is still very much on top of his game.
