Tour de Suisse 2006

Jan Ulrich won the Tour de Suisse. I visited the arrival on the 2nd stage from Bremgarten to Einsiedeln and shoot some nice pictures (e.g. Jan Ullrich, world champion Tom Boonen and the stage winner Daniele Contrini). But unfortunality I have some problems with my gallery and will publish them later.

Good luck for the Tour de France Jan, i’ll be there to support you again.
