Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

[LaFlorecita]

Andy Schleck doesn't weigh 64 kilos, more like 70. Andy is 4 kgs heavier than Fränk.

Could be.


I trusted wikipedia.

 

[LaFlorecita]

But he still doesn't look healthy.




Although my whole point has become invalid.

 

[LaFlorecita]

But more importantly, theyoungest.... How do you know. O_O

 

[c&cfan]

the recent 2010 Tour winner has a record of 2 races finished vs 4 DNF. Not bad.

2010 was 2 years ago.

you should've said the 2011 giro winner..

You should check the data again. He won two month ago not two year ago with a legendary attack in the difficult slopes of CAS palace.

Don't worry about Contador, when I quote him I do as future 2012 Vuelta winner.

The Luxembourger drafted behind the team car for a long time, received a couple of pushes and eventually joined the rear of the peloton about six kilometres later, just before the Hagaard climb at 32km from the finish line. On that climb Schleck didn't gain ground and again lost touch with the peloton.
Eventually, he sat up and ten kilometres later Schleck crossed the finish line for the first of four local laps more than three minutes behind the peloton. Schleck abandoned the race soon afterwards.


Well done Andrew! You get a gold star for being a very brave boy!
I know it must have been a hard decision to only drink 8 beers last night, but at least it enabled you to start the race! Well done!!!!!

I heard Andy´s weight is about 67/68 kg. Couple his low fat percentage + high power output = awesome climbing skills . To me he looks healthy (for a pro cyclist). He can´t just gain 2kg to look ´more healthy´.. That could cost him 2-3 minutes on a long climb. Besides I´m sure he knows perfectly fine what his ideal weight is.

He did crash though:

Schleck's test ended after 126km when he crashed on a wet, slippery roundabout at 69km from the finish line in Overijse, Belgium along with several other riders.

He might have been hurt ore something.. Could explain why it took him some time to return to the peloton and why he later got dropped again.

Yes he apparently hurt his hand as well.

 

[The Hitch]

The little boss suits Contador more considering his anthropometry. Andy a is real boss, main boss, the only boss, BOSS, whatever you like.

Isn't that breaking kayfabe?

There tends to be a lot of hate towards Andy in the `appreciation thread` thread lol..

 

[Zam_Olyas]

muscle fat speculation now? seriously

 

[Cancellator]

what does that mean?

andy is lacking 7-8 kg to look minimally normal.

Muscle weighs more than fat of the same volume from what I remember (I might be wrong). So you might have a 186 cm average joe that looks a lot "bigger" than Andy because of fat padding, even though underneath he has less muscle. Now I'm not talking obesity, just the kind of fat that you have from not being a pro/very serious athlete.

This discussion is pointless anyway, because if you manage to take part in 100km+ bike races at these speeds, you are obviously healthy, otherwise you'd just crack. "Healthy-looking" is just subjective. I think Wiggins looks a lot worse.

By the way, he is 68 kg according to RSN website.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

How big are contadors and andys foot?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Doesn't matter how much he actually weighs my point about burning muscle tissue still stands.

 

[LaFlorecita]

How big are contadors and andys foot?

I don't know exactly but Alberto's feet seem pretty small.

 

[Cancellator]

There's a multi-page thread about Contador's head somewhere isn't there? So...

 

[Zam_Olyas]

It must be bigger than andy eh?

 

[LaFlorecita]

It must be bigger than andy eh?

..........Why?

 

[airstream]

such abstruse questions are not for me. obviously kayfabe is not among 1000 words known to me. i can fuzzily guess what you mean by intonation. that post reflects my vision of cycling in the grand tours.

What a weird vision you have where Andy Raymond Schleck is greater than Alberto Contador Velasco in Grand Tours.

 

[happychappy]

fat padding

Hey! Lets leave Cav out of this

everything is pretty clear. gts is the tour and andy dominates there. the vuelta and the giro is kind of seria b and andy as a generous man lets other guys show themselves at their best in these races. surely i'm saying this not without irony but n point of fact this is the case
