    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    What I meant is that Konig is a rookie in terms of the workings of a professional class A team. Kreuziger has profited immensely from riding with Alberto, and he would always stress that he is more than just grateful for such experience. As matter of fact, he has never shown any signs of being...

    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    Konig has finished in the seventh place on his first Tour de France. It seems to me that you're playing down Konig's performance, which is obviously contrary to what think........ There is no way of comparing Kreuziger and Konig......an old hand vs a rookie Accept the facts and don't...

    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    I'm just saying how it is.........nothing to do with emotions.......yes, you're right that they could get over the apparent dislike (or rather Leo's, not sure if it is mutual], just as you've shown, but things could not take this course and they might find themselves in a similar situation to...

    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    NetApp/Bora stated that they want to concentrate on young German or Austrian riders......Konig and others are too costly already, they said.... Another thing is Leo's career. If he wants to be among the best, he has to step it up and leave his current team......what he has gained from coming...

    It'll be really interesting where he winds up in the end. Leo would love to join any of the anglophone teams. However, it's unlikely, I think, that it'll be SKY or Garmin. SKY's too strong and Leo does not want to spend the rest of his carreer working for Froome. And there's Talansky in Garmin...

    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    Konig is quite confident that he will succeed in tomorrow's time trial despite the crash he happened to have today. He is a very down-to-earth guy who never overestimated his abilities. On the contrary, whatever he claimed only proved to be true so far. BTW, he posted a comment after...

    Leopold Konig discussion thread

    This young Czech rider from the second-class team Netapp has been riding without anybody's help, yet he has been keeping up with the best riders on the Tour. With clumsy Talansky fallling off his bike more often than not, Konig would not have lost some three minutes. Being a good TT rider...
