You are right.. we can just leave it open, it will hardly ever get used anyway
Some lowlifes deserve the kicking...cineteq said:Andy is down for the count, and you guys keep hitting him like a puching ball
Netserk said:
Agreed, people who criticize a guy who achieved more than they ever will, who was unlucky with injuries, even after those injuries cut him career short.
Lowlifes like that definetely deserve a kicking.
Now stop the useless post and keep this a civil thread about TdF champion
Netserk said:
Precisely.
Jspear- Oh he will definitely make a comeback.
other people- Remember to stop and take a moment to think before you post anything that could be too volatile.

No, that wouldn't be okay. A better person just lets it go, especially if your guy actually won in the end as well.

Lol I guess 90% of the posters on this forum are bad people then. Everyone loved that Lance pic.
LaFlorecita said:
In that specific respect, yes. I wouldn't lie and say I didn't enjoy it at least a little either. But, as always, he has his supporters that would gloat if they found a picture of Cadel in '05 or something.
I was a little harsh at first though, it just seems mean for you and for this section of the forum. Relating it to another sport I follow, I enjoyed it like hell when Al Hilal got angry about losing the Asian Champions League to and Aussie team. We all do it, outwardly or not.

Would probably be the second best climber in this race. In peak condition he might even give Froome a run for his money.

Would be nice to hear Andy's thoughts regarding the race.
He's the ingredient this route misses.

he would have been salivating at this route, he would only lose about 2 mins in the time trial.
It's funny to see Froome and Quintana on their stationary bikes right after the stage ends, and before they go on the podium. If you only think back a couple of years, you would never see Andy, Contador or Evans like that!
What kind of cycling forum did I stumble into? All the wishing Andy was back, this can't be cyclingnews.
I too miss the old days, a single day of the Contador v. Schleck battle was better then all the mountain stages we've had so far.

Re:
Like what?
Riding backwards, attacking after the finish line, or looking hard at Froome or whoever is riding next to him...
A top form Andy would have further complained about the cobbles, wet descents, too hot weather, too windy, too cold, too less race stoppages & rider strikes... Did I forgot something?
IOW: Thanks god he´s gone, and big siz isn´t around either...

Are you thinking of the day they held hands up the Tourmalet, or of the day when they did a track stand and allowed Samu and Menchov to get ahead?Afrank said:
Re: Re:
I remember he would do last km attacks to gain a couple seconds (Schleckonds we'd call them back then) He lost the 2010 and 2011 TDF on the road because he was too passive.
Besides that, has Andy ever done a daring attackRedheadDane said:FoxxyBrown1111 said:Zam_Olyas said:

Not sure why this thread was resurrected from the dead, but Andy Schleck was a great rider who will always be remembered for his bold and daring, one-of-a-kind attack at the Galibier, for his precocious talent, and for being the first rider since Hinault to win a monument and the Tour de France.

Can't combat this,so much talent but not enough determination to exploit it
