Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

[LaFlorecita]

uh, I'm a little bit sorry for people who wrote graffities in his honour on the Mur. and yet i think all for the better and the worse he's now - the stronger he'll be in July cos Bruyneel never makes mistakes. and Andy too. and we know it!

I feel a bit sad for Andy's fans. They have to wait so long to see him do something.

But oh well, I guess Andy's just not good enough to perform the whole year around. If he would perform in other races he would probably not be good enough in July.

Wow, think of it. How dominant would Alberto be if he would only race for the win in July. It would be massacre like.

 

[dlwssonic]

Andy will be good at LBL. remember last year at FW he sucked too but was much better at LBL.

 

[Fetisoff]

It would be massacre like.

Agree. Massacre, like TOWNITNBM provided for 7 years straight

Airstream and Christian, get cracking.

Bruyneel should pay more attention to how the team is doing instead of announcing puff pieces.

One can say that this will be Andy's worst spring since turning pro.

Not that the rest of the team are flying.

 

[Azabael]

Testing his legs for later in the season wouldn't be appreciatable in my view. Not for a race with this status. He always knew he wouldn't win.

I do appreciate your sarcasm. Like, I said, the worst directing I've ever seen.
No way Frank got back on his own. They had to have used every one left for that gem.
Awful. And yes, their BS is getting old.

he was good in AGR last year tho

i bet andy has tested positive for low quality beer after the tour last year and now the uci banned him from performing for 11 months and 1 week.

thats the most logical explanation

“We wanted to make this race hard,” emphasized Horner. “We hoped the second time up the Mur would work if we tried something, and we were trying to be as aggressive as possible each time. Fränk’s flat was at a difficult time and he had to use so much energy trying to come back. I offered my wheel when but he chose to take the wheel from the car and that usually works better anyway, but I certainly was there to work for him if he needed me. I put in a little acceleration to see who would show….just about everyone showed.”

Thats what Chris Horner said after the race, so that proves he didn't go back to help Frank. The hatred for the Schlecks continue even when they try to do something.

*facepalm*

last year Andy was very good in the Amstel (leading the race until 250m to go) remember??
Ofcourse he was good in LBL (and also top 15 in Pais Vasco if i remember correctly)

How can you possible compare to this year? He's much worse

 

[airstream]

Probably he's just fooling without pushing really hard? in my view, Andy has a supreme basis level and is able to hit top20-30 no matter how good his form is. apparently everything boils down to will to compete at the moments..

../..Thats what Chris Horner said after the race, so that proves he didn't go back to help Frank. The hatred for the Schlecks continue even when they try to do something.

there will always be plenty of hatred for the Schlecks, especially from the sycophantic Conti crowd, 'Contador got caught doping, lets kick the Schlecks'

i would say the exact opposite. maybe andy has a very low base level which doesn't allow him to be competitive all year around and improves massively when he peaks. it is certainly more respectable then not getting results simply for not caring.

 

[El Pistolero]

They hate him because he almost never races outside July and still fails then. Doping talk goes in the clinic.

OK? If you stop to offer a wheel, why would you not help bring him back up? Once Horner stopped, he would have to do some chasing of his own even if he did not wait. It was of his own accord most likely, however, and probably not decided in the team car.

I think the acceleration he's talking about was at 31Ks on the Mur. I can't imagine him stopping, chasing and then attacking. I certainly never saw it or him at the front after the FS flat.

What luck! But at best, I think Frank could have done no better than 5th today. WT points loss and another crappy day for RSNT.

Andy a supreme basis level? My god, if anyone doesn't have a high basis level, it's Andy. What Andy does have, is an extreme peak level...

 

[Siriuscat]

Frankie first RSNT rider at 2-11 back Abandony at 5-39 in 50th place....USELESS...Dear Andy Schleck REAL Champions win races.....not bleat about it on CN before yet another epic failure!!

 

[Christian]

Wow, don't you wish Andy was your boyfriend?! I'd ride that thing (the bike), don't even care that it's pink!!

It's official

Andy to receive Maillot Jaune from Christian Prudhomme on May 29th in his hometown Mondorf-les-bains. It will be a small ceremony (around 150 invites) in the town's Casino

Don't know what for?! He's never won the race. They can "celebrate" their fantasy all they want. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, knows the truth. Even the poor fools who want to go along with the newer version of THEIR reality. The presentation ought to take place on top of a craps table.

 

[LaFlorecita]

What do you want them to do? Leave Contador as the winner or just leave the winner void altogether than to give it to Andy. There has to be a winner of the 2010 Tour and it cant be Contador whatsoever.

Leave the winner void sounds like a good idea to me, but even if they choose to have Andy as the winner does there really have to be a whole ceremony. It's almost like they want to make andy and those people in luxembourg believe that Andy won the Tour.

I just hope Prudhomme isn't going to spout out crap like he did with the pereiro ceremony.

BTW Scarponi also gets Alberto's pink jersey

Also your Alberto bashing is getting really annoying.

LaFlorecita, I agree with you completely. This is about rewriting history. The ceremony is pure boolsheet. And then we get the news of Scarponi being written in as the 2011 Giro winner. Scarponi knows that Contador plowed him and the whole peloton down in Italy, in 2011, and we all know it was clean as a whistle. Andy lovers, are we all watching his performances lately? Be proud he'll probably wake up by July, but will he have transformed into a capable Time Trial rider. I think his Trek will turn into a Pumpkin before that happens, sorry.

As per the rules, Andy won the Tour. Simple as that. You could argue about the 2011 Giro, but the 2010 Tour is not and cannot be an issue. It's crystal clear.

Agree with this. The Giro is a (very) grey area, but Alberto was DQed from the Tour as anyone else has been (Astarloza, Landis, Mayo, Kohl, Fofonov, Schumacher etc) for a similar offence - i.e. tested positive during the race but not until the race had finished
