Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

It's always about July for Abandony

 

[peloton]

I really don't care if he DNF T-A as long as he gets competitive racing in his legs.

My hope he might be ready for April is way off so now it's all about July for Andy.

When was the last time he finished a stage race?

Not finishing today's race isn't a big thing, but apparently he was the first ones to call it quit, anyone know more about that?

He needs racing in his legs more than anything, no way around it.

Just for an small problem in Mediterraneum?
Maybe he won't be ready for the Tour, but maybe Tirreno give him a good shape and could be competitive for Criterium Internacional.
We don't Know

One step at a time for Andy. As long as he has no more injuries and starts finishing races all is not lost but as usual, his competitors are three steps ahead of him at this stage of the season.

So Andy didn't finish today, but i think he is satisfied with how the day went for him according to this :

“Besides the crashes and wind, there were a lot of punctures today, too, but I think Fabian looked very good.” Like many classic races, the field was well diminished before the finish line, and Schleck was only one of many that didn’t finish. “I was pulling and there was a crash so I had to stop. I wasn’t in the crash, but had to stop for it. Then I had a puncture after that on section 5 and then with the crashes it became a mess with the cars. I felt ok today, though, so I am looking forward to Tirreno. I hope to keep these good sensations in my legs. I didn’t finish today but this is like a classic race where we go all in for one rider and the rest are left behind so it’s not a worry for me.”

Shouldn't be too concerned him not finishing today, It's a really tough race, and a lot can happen (crashes, mechanical's, etc.). TA is going to be the real test for him. It'll show how he handles multiple days of racing in his current form. He sounds like he is getting on the right track again I think.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Some hope is coming back. He needs to finish Tirreno now. If he does, confidence and motivation will rise.
However, time's running out for the ardennes. Six weeks left to the Amstel, seven to LBL, so let's see.

Have you seen who personifies the fighting spirit in the anniversary TDF trailer?

Are mods allowed to do this. I mean, mocking riders? Just wondering.

 

[serfla]

Even a mod is allowed to be jealous. Believe it or not, behind the mod tag hides some kind of person.

Fighting spirit.

I have my eye on him

Only Jens_A will qualify as a mod that way.

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

Agreed. Impartiality lacking

 

[Netserk]

Very simple. If a poster is allowed to mock riders, then so are mods. (And both are)

Maybe so, but having your current signature while telling off others in Alberto Contador thread etc for trolling does appear hypocritical?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Actually, I just won 6 races with Andy in PCM 2012 (season 2013) today

so it is possible, if he races like a man for once

 

[Netserk]

I haven't told off others for trolling in a loooong time. Care to link?

EDIT: Found the post you are referring to (I think).

You do not want to admit to trolling two mods

Not exactly 'telling off others for trolling'.

I felt scared and abused

It certainly seemed so in you response
