Let's see how it will go... his first race will maybe be Tour of Oman? That's good because at least it's hot. My fear is that there will be snow and cold in Europe, so some races will get canceled, some he'll abandon and then he'll get the flu, so that he has 10 race days by the Amstel Gold Race

Go to the clinic for that answer. We live in an era with more control, no more. This is not the place for that.

if you are not agree, ok, but I talked for me, and you read aboutr that everyday to everybody, for that I said, suposed new era. Andy was stronger in Tourmalet than Purito and Hesjedal, and they has been amongs the stronger later. Purito climb better than Froome in the Tour once he recover his crash in the first week.

We know that now Contador is not the man that put one minute to Purito in Tourmalet suckwheeling Andy, but I dont know if andy could be that man. I dont think so, but if he is close, he can beat Froome in the mountains.

Taxus, you understand enough that this is clinic talk. I alluded to this a few posts above. You didn't need to push your luck. Leave it at that here or really do take it tothe clinic.

This thread is a non-ending gift.

Thank you all those who still espouse that schlecklet has even one iota of natural talent.

This thread is arguably even more amusing than the contador thread.

Keep it up, please.

True.

And just to show that even Contador prefers old women over Schlecklett

It is important becouse they have been rivals in the Tour several years, and we are supposed to be in a new era now, so, it would be interesting to know who is stronger in this new era.

So it's important to you obviously and not necessarily Andy, at least he hasn't been quoted anywhere in that regard.

Yes, of course. I didnt say any other thing. But I think for him it is important as well, not very important anyway. But that is just mi opinion, of course.

He's admiring those strong looking legs of hers obviously !

We've not seen Contador looking that relaxed going up a hill since Giro 2011. Similarly 2011 Tour was probably the last time we saw Andy look so determined.

Edit. Referring to the photo of course

Next year Andy will ride Luxemburg instead California.
Similar Schedule than previous years, with his brother always except in Oman.

And Paris-Nice instead of Tirreno-Adriatico. Not sure what to make of those changes - not riding California for example means over 1 month without racing after LBL.

I think it's good for him not racing in May and instead taking a rest after Ardennes and then going on altitude for some weeks until Tour of Luxembourg.

Andy just drop your god damn brother, your more talented than Frank ever will be although it could almost be said with your talent Frank would be unbeatable, at least he actually tries and does not sit in gruppeto. It's so annoying when he does not even try, look at the late American races for example, he goes in the break kalmost saying look at me im trying, why go in the break you should be eating those races in your sleep.

Also it's proven you do not need to lie low in the peloton, Nibali and Froome were excellent for ages even Contador was at least consistent top 5 in every race, so less o the BS i ony try in LBL and TDF, and realise that bloody talent, 2nd in Giro at 21-22 is the best performance for ages.

That tops Quintana's 2nd at the 2013 Tour?:(

This website lists Tour de Romandie for Andy's schedule, but doesn't actually say anything about it in the article. So I'm not sure what to think of it. But if it's true it could be interesting, since it starts 2 days after LBL, so he should be in good shape.

The only time he did this race was in 2007, finished 8th overall. Race was won by... Thomas Dekker :eek:

Robert Millar is a lady?????? Is that true???? Geez, he was a great climber.

I'm not a 100% sure but I think he took the newspaper that run that story along with a picture of a lady they said was Robert after a sex change and won his case.
