its no disgrace (he just doest take his job too seriously,there are tons of these,usually happier people imo too) he was just havin fun;)

Ag2r pays him money too perform, he already didn't ride the tour and then this...He's pretty much useless for this year, sorry if i believe that's a disgrace.

Being a pro isn't easy, this is the andy mentality, maybe even worse.

If that's the attitude he's taken, then he better change it fast. You can be the most talented rider in the world, but it'll amount to nothing if you don't have the dedication and don't work hard.

Exhibit A: Andy Schleck. Need I say more?

Did you ever hate on andy? I'm pretty sure you did, what was the reason for that? I think i know the answer.

If i'm right...I hate hypocrites.

Anyway your answer is absolutely ridiculous, people should be banned for answers like that.

There are tons of these indeed only you never hear about them and they aren't happier because they accomplish **** all. Carlos has an enviable talent which allows him to be be a lazy *** and still make a nice living. Let's not praise him just because he is lucky enough to have talent.

I hate andy because he´s a whining **** who can´t even gear properly. not because he´s lazy
 
Such a bleeding waste...how many dedicated hard working monk living riders in the peloton and lower division cycling levels would give their eye teeth to have the talent of Betencur and he turns up for work like this

Immatue, unprofessional & ridiculous

Lol, but he was only 39 minutes away from crushing Nairo by 20 seconds on neila yesterday:eek:

nice new avatar;)

Well could have been worse, at least he came in with Pelucci and not after him. Rumor says that he could have beaten Nairo, but a Tapas Bar at the foot of the last climb proved irresistible

yeah those 3yr old jamon iberico are just too much to resist for bananito lol:D
 
Man this is getting hilarious and totally out of control :D I really hope he can stay in the pro peloton for a long time, lots of laughs coming up :D

Should he alternate great winning streaks and periods of lazyness à-la-Ullrich during winter time...this kid could become my new idol.
