Default Audi and cycling / Tour de France

I saw a tiny Audi logo -- about an inch and a half long -- on Jan Ullrich's time trial bike in the Tour de France today, leading me to the following Bild story (in German):

http://www.audi.com/java/facts/stage/aktiv/radsport/e_intro.html

Audi apparently supplies the wind tunnel for the aerodynamic testing of the time trial bikes and positions.

Ullrich drives an A8 and a TT -- and drives them, apparently, very fast. Once stopped in a Citroen doing +140mph.
