How will Andy Schleck finish his 2013 TdF?

[Zam_Olyas]

I believe he will top 10 or there about.

DNF/abandon/Illness/whatever................................................

I always wondered if it's really true from the july-fans, guess i know the answer lol So many threads for the tour...prob already more than for the entire giro

Andy should go for stages, don't think he has it to be good in each MTF, he'll crack in one.

What month did you register Miburo?

What month did you register Miburo?

That was after the Tour. Obviously very different...

Wrong thread I know but that Andy llama in the pro lookalike section is outstanding.

Its Fabulous

I would really like to see him competitive in a few stages, but I'm not holding my breath.

I voted DNF, but it would be refreshing to see him finish the race and exceed my expectations.

 

[jaylew]

I voted DNF but if he finishes I say 15-30th. The field is too deep and this Andy simply doesn't have the legs to compete for the top 10.

 

[cineteq]

He'll finish, it's pretty much I can say or wish....although it's sort of funny poeple think he'll finish top 10

 

[saneguy]

Unfortunately I think it will most likely end up in a DNF unless he becomes SuperMan and is indeed able to compete for GC. If he miserably loses time in the first 10 stages he will most likely abandon then do all the tough mountain stages.

Heart clearly says / wishes that he finishes in the Top 20 at least. Mind saying something else....

 

[Rip:30]

Devolder solos to the Belgian championships = RS on the way up for a good tour, don't be surprised!!!

 

[Archibald]

Schleck will be ready, his good old team too.

always comes good in july regardless of what he's done in the earlier part of the season...

Still, if he drops below a certain level/place/time I reckon he'll call it and climb off. I'd take a punt that that's around the 20-25th mark.

 

[argyllflyer]

If his form has improved, I would hazard a guess that he'll finish 10mins+ down on the winner. So somewhere in the placings between 5th and 20th. The time trials won't as ever be his friends.

If he continues his 2013 form, DNF or well, well down.

 

[nick101]

at the tds he was showing great signs of improvement, but then at the luxemborg champs he got smashed by club riders so i'm not sure. Was thinking top ten was possible, but now i'm not sure

 

[movingtarget]

I will say DNF in the third week which is still much better than early season. I think 2014 is the year he has to make an impression to get his career back on track.

 

[Linkinito]

No Vino option, so DNF.
I'll think he'll get sick like Wiggins and drop out of the race during the final week after having a hard time in the Pyrénées.

hey what's the vino option mean?

 

[Roderick]

24th place + stage win on Ventoux+ Polka dot jersey

 

[Angliru]

His goal should be, first and formost, to ride into Paris (on his bike!), finishing the 3 weeks. It will be a test of his mental toughness to for the first time, go into the Tour unable to compete with his gc rivals. I don't see him having the form to do that and how he responds to that scenario will determine what his ultimate Tour outcome will be. He's been saying that he's not being overly ambitious in terms of his anticipated performance so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's matured through this period of adversity, developed a degree of mental toughness that may have been missing/or lost before and that will carry him to Paris. A top 30 finish in the gc with a valiant but unsuccessful attempt at a stage win.

 

[RedheadDane]

hey what's the vino option mean?

Other!
The completely random and unexpected.

 

[Siriuscat]

Top 50, he'll win on Ax3 then disappear

 

[rainman]

DNF, still missing his other half.

 

[wirral]

Who will he give The Look to on this Tour?

That might have been a better poll.

watch and learn lance

Ah, the days of Andy being the national champ, RR and TT, and the L-B-L and Tour winner seem like a distant memory. Even Wiki stopped listing his results on his page after 2011.

He hasn't participated in a GT for the past 2 years. I just can't see him being physically and mentally ready for a 3-week race. His heart just ain't there.
