Reasons why I dislike Andy:

1) Still bitter that Sastre 'took' the Tour from Frank in '08.
2) Chaingate and the hypocrisy. Still bitter and with a 'fire in my belly'.
3) Vuelta '10. Simply unprofessional.
4) Gap '11. Whining like a crybaby.
5) Constantly checking where his brother is. Especially in the '11 Pyranees and Ventoux '09.
6) Only races to win AGR, F-W, L-B-L & Tour.
7) The way Leopard was created.
8) Tactically Inept. If I had to rank different current riders in Vinoness, Andy would probably rank the lowest.

Reasons why I would like Andy if it wasn't because of all the reasons to dislike him:

1) He looks good on a bike. He's in the category with Pippo, and in the opposite end of Voeckler, Froome & Evans.
2) Once in a while he does some absolutely brilliant rides. (Liege '09 & Galibier '11)

Aren't you a Contador fan? How's that for dealing with Chaingate in a contemptible way?

Agree on all points.

It was absolutely pathetic that he said that he didn't see it.

But that doesn't change that it was okay to race, just like on the cobbles.

EDIT: As for my fandom it's:
Boonen
...
Contador
Nibali
...
lots of riders.

Wow pretty much sums it up.

I still want him to make a comeback though because of:

'Once in a while he does some absolutely brilliant rides. ' The talent is there, maybe being older and having faced real adversity (injury) he can become the rider he is capable of being. That would be worth watching :)

You dislike me? :eek: :(

Is there anything on the list you disagree with?

'twas a joke of course :cool:

Many of the points you listed have been discussed ad nauseam, or are debateable, or must be explained with all their components... everything seems simple when you reduce it to a catchy one-liner but things are usually more complicated than that...

The fate of the two of them is forever intertwined. Hoping the Contador-dad rumor is true. And with neither doing battle with each other in the Tour the last couple years, hopefully they would raise their kids with the sole purpose of beating the other. :D If so, I foresee many epic battles ahead.

I reckon Andy'll get just daughters. He already has the my little pony collection to keep them busy.

To sum up Andy is an infant girl who cries during homosexual incestual intercourse and will only produce female offspring

Welcome, bro :cool:

I'm sure Andy will still love his baby girl, even if she's a girl... but that only shows again what a girl he is... and gay on top of it!

Yep, pretty pathetic some of these comments. I can imagine the outcry if someone said the same things about Contador. :rolleyes:

Why? And if so, would there be something bad about that?

Because I say so and no of course that would not be bad, women > men anyway.

Seriously though, it was a joke.

You should check the latest tweet of the Peter Sagan parody account. @tweetersagan

Andy and MLP belong together, the My little pony jokes have been around for ages.
