Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

[El Pistolero]

I can't know for sure, but that's obviously one of the reason why you come into this threat and complete who needles Andy more refinedly and cynically, cos you are not concerned about his results out of thoughts regarding his rivarly against Contador. And beyond doubt the only idea that The Legend can be equal by the number of the Tour titles to Contador causes your thrill and maybe even insomnia.

3-0. I think Contador is pretty safe from Andy equaling him. It will be 4-0 in 2013 and 5-0 in 2014.

The funny thing is, had Contador not raced Tour last year, Andy would have won.

Contador attacked at Mur de Bretagne, Andy lost some seconds
Contador attacked at Col Manse, Andy lost around a minute
Contador attacked at Telegraph, Andy chased Contador while gaining nothing before Alpe and spent huge energy (And if he wasnt so paranoid about Contador, he would have worked with him and possibly start Alpe ahead of Evans)

And Airstream, you still say that Contador fans are panicing when they hear Andy?

had andy started working with contador as soon as they dropped evans he would have started l'alp with at least 30 secs on evans. but since he waited till they were already half way up the galibier he still wasted energy and was caught

So true, which is why i dont understand the hatred Evans fans have for Contador.

Yeah, now I'm absolutely certain reading this.

That's too simplified to build on all these "if". If there hadn't been Manse, there couldnt have been Galibier; if Contador hadn't attacked on Mur, Gilbert or Evans could have done that; if Schleck had helped him, very likely anyway they would have been caught etc.

What???....lost me now.

 

[Havetts]

Its okay, its easy to lose it as a contador fanboy when someone talks positively about Andy, I see it happening every day.

 

[airstream]

Will you settle down or not? what, exactly, do you disagree with?

 

[cineteq]

Will you settle down or not? what, exactly, do you disagree with?

Your semantics are very confusing That's why poeple keep saying: What?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Brilliant effort today. One has to say

 

[Siriuscat]

Will you settle down or not? what, exactly, do you disagree with?

I can't agree or disagree with anything because I can't pick a single logical train of thought through your posts any more. Simple as this, when Andy starts putting some wins and strong results behind him regularly then I'll respect his achievements

Meh, only on col de Manse did Contador directly help Evans. And even there Andy would've lost a chunk of time on the descent anyway, he was absolutely terrible. Also, after being dropped on the Télégraphe, Evans had to reel in the Contador group himself on both the ascent and descent of the Galibier.

 

[greenedge]

I thought that was only because of his knee injury in the Tour last year. That was something that was particularly spotted on the Super Besse stage and I remember Magnus Backstedt going on about it in the Eurosport studio afterwards.

Thx for reminding me- i talked about it a lot last year so i just thought he did it all year.

Hitch, A lot of us Evans Fanboys do like Contador also.

All our hate is directed at goose-neck.

Hatred is very strong word Hitch. I don't like Alberto but I don't have any hatred towrds him. I am probably his biggest critic out of the Evans fans so I don't see where such a comment is based on.

alberto represents cycling at it best. so much talent, so much heart. he makes races, be it in france or argentina. no one is like him. (maybe peter will be)

2007, they think Contador should never have been in the race and therefore stole the victory.

How?

The only one who was stolen was Rasmussen.

Operacion puerto. Name came up hence clearly guilty, once a doper always a doper, hence should not have been in the race or Evans was beaten by a doper. The 2010 tour test has done nothing to make these Evans fans like Contador any more.

 

[airstream]

There are always the mainstream (something that understandable for anyone and needs no explanation) and the underground (advanced ideas, charisma that can be discerned by few) in any field. One can draw one's conclusions...

How can you criticise Alberto? I just don't get it.

Love him, okay, perfectly understandable of course.
Hate him, okay, you can think he is a doper.

But criticise.... I just can't see it.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

great to see how badly andy got booed today at the cauberg and how all the schleck fans went mad over it they are just as andy and frank. pathetic

1 chaingate
2 colombier
3 haughty attitude to the Legend at the top of Tourmalet. The strongest climber got the stage! Let Contador slap on cheeks his puppies!
