    Hindsight 20/20, where did Andy lose it?

    He should have tested the other riders more in the Pyrenees. He should have forced the tempo and dropped the yellow jersey onto cadel and made him defend it. Andy is too concerned about Frank making it as well. If Frank would just ride as a super domestique instead of coleader Andy would win the...

    How dumb are the folks at Versus/NBC?

    x2 Id be surprised if P&P could say the alphabet once through without stumbling.

    Should Andy skip the Tour next year & do the Giro instead?

    He should race whichever tour AC isnt racing as his first. I imagine he should stay away from the Giro because scarponi and nibali are both better than him and basso will probably go back to the giro after this years showing at the tour. Leaving him with the Vuelta most likely. Ya hes young and...

    Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

    Refill Day winners and losers

    Im with most of you thinking AC dove into a blood bad yesterday, but im curious as to what you guys think his "recovery" program from the Giro was with all the testing im sure he's going through. If AC has ever riden somewhat clean hes probably closest right now.

    TDF Stage 14: Saint-Gaudens - Plateau de Beille 168km

    lame ride by the favorites, I hope voekler spoils the party and keeps the jersey the whole way

    discussion!!! contador

    Contador doesnt have to attack to make up time. He just has to not lose time. In a 41k ITT id be embarrassed to be contador and not beat schlek by 2-3 minutes. Its Evans he has to worry about and just prays Evans has one of his notoriously unlucky days.
