Lance Armstrong has publicly aired his grievance at Tour de France organiser ASO, after it reportedly did not invite former German pro and 1997 Tour winner Jan Ullrich to this year's Grand Départ in Düsseldorf.
Commenting on the list of riders who will be making an appearance at the opening day of the 2017 Tour, Armstrong wrote on Twitter: "Rolling out the red carpet for the likes of [Laurent] Jalabert, [Richard] Virenque, [Bernard] Hinault (and many others) yet not inviting Jan? Pfft. F*** ASO!"
