andy got mechanical issue today. Either that's a blessing in disguise for him or not.. dunno these days :). (even the Eurosport commentators made a comment about it). I feel sorry for him. It must be hard to be andy. (but hey, you are (used to be) a star rider so people will have high expectation.

Yup thats true

"It was bad luck for Andy Schleck who punctured just before the climb, leaving him with no chance to get back to the front."

His brother showed signs of life at Paris-Nice. Where has Andy's number one fan gone, Airstream, have not seen him around lately, I think he became more of a Froome fan.

In all this despair, one can focus on the positives: while the results are appaling he's miles better than last year.

Permabanned a long time ago, you didn't hear? Was a whole big thing. Netserk's greatest achievement as a mod

Netserk's list of achievements is much longer than a single Schleck fan.
I just hope he's gotten an opportunity to mow LaFlo's lawn in return.

Banned for what ? That seems pretty extreme. There are others on here that seem to have by some miracle avoided the same result. I missed that debacle obviously and have spent less time on here since the end of last season.

Yes. To be fair after he was permabanned, he came back with another acount and insulted Netserk. If he hadn't done that he maybe could have come back, who knows. Now that some of the old gang like Netserk and hiero have been retired, and we can hope for a new wind with mods like Afrank, maybe it is time to think of an amnesty for some people....

I think that's a good idea. That's if he wants to come back of course. Some of his posts were very good but I managed to avoid any slanging matches with him and try to keep my opinions reasonable. He was also quite funny and I think his non parole period should be reviewed. Mercy for Airstream.

No Mercy for Airstream! The list has been a much better place without him IMO.

Mercy for Andy, because he needs it!!!! Frank is riding well and showing himself, Andy well there is something missing there :(

If Airstream wished to return he would have to be the one to approach us about it and express that he understands the reasons for his perma-ban and is sorry for them. If he does and is sincere in that, then there's always a chance we would allow him back.

But probably a better discussion for the mods thread. So back to the Schlecks.

Glad to see Frank attacking and being active in PN, was really hoping he could hold on the final stage. Hopefully some of that motivation to race outside July of Franks rubs off on Andy.

Me too.
Gotta say I had a moment of did Fränk Schleck actually just descend okayish*, and is he about to sprint stage?

*Not like Nibali but... better than his usual.

Yeah Frank was unlucky. Well timed attack. I was hoping he would hang on but alas, caught on the line. Paris Nice was a good race this year but of course all eyes are on Tirreno where Contador seems to have turned back the clock, at least in that race.
