Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

I disagree

Oh well what can I do?

Nothing, nothing

I always get a buzz from Andy's agilita too. Great power, flawless posture, quite big gear and outstanding climbing organics. Real cycling poetry. High class.

 

[Parrulo]

How he's racing now is what we're used to from him right? Riding anonymously except for Ardennes and TDF.

We can't really tell if he's not capable of more than this, or whether he's back to normal, since both look the same. LBL should be the first serious indication if he's on the right track or no.

exactly he is riding just like he used to ride tirreno back in 09/10

Tirreno - Adriatico, Stage 4 : San Gemini - Chieti (243 km) (2010)

103. SCHLECK Andy SAX 20'03" 0

i wish 09 schleck could return attacking properly and doing the talking with his legs and not his mouth also not complaining about everything would be cool . . .

He's got a great pain face at least, it's a little like this:

 

[Panda Claws]

I never thought I'd miss an Andy in top shape so much...

Andy's definitely on his way back, he'll be flying in Liege.

Most of the guys who arent native english speakers will find it hard to express themselves when interviewed by the english speaking media which most of us follow. So they will come out as dull inevitably. There was this one interview with wiggins and ebh and wiggins told ebh a joke or something and the latter just stared at him since he didnt understand, not that he s dull.

IMO most post-race "questions" are absolutely terrible though... how often have I heard "Andy.... a ... very hard race today...?" I mean what the hell are you supposed to say to that

Andy Schleck retires from Tirreno - Adriatico... quelle surprise!

Let the mocking begin, again.

I think this thread should be closed till Andy gets a top ten finish.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

 

[Kwibus]

Oh boy oh boy.

 

[Netserk]

Who do you think is most pathetic, Ryo?

Gesink or Andy.

 

[JimPanzen]

As much as I often don't like his attitude, I feel deeply sorry for this guy. I don't really think this years TdF is a realisitc goal for him, let alone LBL.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

gesink has been more pathetic over a longer period of time, andy is now more pathetic for the past good 12 months, still andy has proven in the past great things, gesink hasn't yet he's still leader of one of the biggest wt teams and paris nice was once againa good laught for me

Your fun will soon be over hopefully, when Blanco folds. I've always wondered if Gesink would even be a valuable climbing domestique. He can't pull back anyone who's explosive, so what's the point of having him? Andy on the other hand has every right to believe he can once again contend for the Tour podium, something Gesink will never do. But he'd better finish his next race, his pathticness is starting to get to Dutch levels.

I loose more and more respect for this guy with every passing race, he really needs to grow a pair.

Oh Andy...

That is exactly my thoughts too.Some people are relishing his continued demise,its not good karma to do that,i tried to make that point in this thread a couple of weeks ago but nobody was interested in showing some compassion for a deeply troubled soul.

 

[JimmyFingers]

Still coming back from injury and probably missing riding with his brother, but most worrying is the apparent listlessness from him, as if he's fallen out of love with the sport and just doesn't want to be there.
