    Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

    According to local newspapers in Luxembourg, Andy gets no contract but Fränk does. I agree, Rolland is the most Schleck-like rider i could think off. Even his style looks similar. He puts in more attacks, but who says Andy couldn't. :p I think Europcar would be a great choice.

    This is probably the career end. Don't think he is mentally strong enough to fight back... :(

    Will The Real Andy Schleck ever Come Back?

    As much as i agree with you, that he will never be the same again, i think you can't blame him this time. He crashed. These things happen. I think he would have finished this Tour Top20... Not satisfying, but considering his bad luck this year. Still too less for him of course.

    Andy Schleck and dope

    Thats why i wrote BEFORE the Giro. Anyhow, scoring around 200 cq points at the age of 19 is very strong. Name me a few riders that were that strong being so young. The mid teens thing. I don't know. Maybe. But i like to believe in strong juniors more than in riders suddenly appearing on the...

    Andy Schleck and dope

    I really don't think thats the case. Do i think he dopes? Yes i do. But he was always outstanding as junior and he did exceptional well in his first pro years with 19, 20. (before the 2nd in Giro) In my opinion he is a huge talent and his struggling has more to do with his mind.

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    Lol! Bull****. Rolland took the lead twice and Quintana thanked him both time with attacking... So Quinti caused this with his stupid riding.

    2014 68th Tour de Romandie, April 29 to May 4 - WT

    He broke it once again, but i am also curious how he does. Hoping for a top20 in Giro, if he could deal with the 3 weeks.

    Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

    I think most of the people dissing Andy, don't know what it means to be a pro and dealing with such an serious injury. I mean if you really gonna judge him just because his comeback takes his time, i say Joseba Beloki was never the same rider he was before.

    Best young rider in Giro D'Italia 2013?

    Preidler, no way. Not good enough at climbing and also generally a step behind likes of Betancur and Kelderman.
