Andy Schleck Discussion thread.

[LaFlorecita]

My judgment is they were both on the limit. I think a draw is about right. Alberto will be able to claim he still won it, and Andy will have the yellow shirt, so they both have a degree of happiness.

Let's see... is this a fair outcome? Alberto had the win for 1.5 years. Andy will have it forever. Yes that seems totally right and fair to me

Again with the post about contador.

You're like little kids. Bonding with the class leader and to show you're commited to him you laugh and even take part in it when the class leader bullies the poor kid.

Except that Contador doesn't have the class leader personality. Maybe, just maybe should tell you something

What, exactly?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Zam you're right. Let's move the discussion to the I Love Alberto thread. But remember, only Alberto love there.

 

[Arnout]

What, exactly?

Such a love for your favorite that you develop hate for his competitor.

I admit that my analogy doesn't work as well as I'd hoped

So much Andy Schleck appreciating going on here..

The "this thread is not appreciating Andy" posts are starting to match the "andy sux" posts in this thread.

Hang on.

I created the thread to appreciate Andy's attack.

Why does it now look like i created a deprecciation thread? Cant you just move the last 150 pages into the depreciation thread?

I checked out the first few pages of the thread. It was started by you and you were very appreciative of Andy Schleck's big solo attack at the 2011 tour. So were many others. But in the recent comments he seems to have gone down in people's estimation. What's changed since last year for Andy?

i created an andy appreciation thread thanks to his attack on Galibier.

It was there to be used if Andy did it again this year.

Not my fault other people hijacked it.

Nothing changed. Andy's attack just temporarily changed people's sentiments. After that, everything went back to normal.

nothing. I respect great attacks and dislike insulting comments made at ones opponents.

not your fault ofc, but this threads have gotten completely out of hand.

it's impossible to keep a thread going with only appreciation of a rider and another one with depreciation as one cannot exist without the other.

this has also been requested by many posters so it's not like the mods are making this decision out nowhere

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'd start a The Hitch appreciation thread but I don't think the mods would appreciate that. Probably it would be changed into a The Hitch discussion thread.

Well certainly Johann appreciates Andy. So much so that he's trying to sign Contador as his super-domestique.

Again with the post about contador.

They are eternally linked. To speak of one is to only prompt discussion of the other.
