In 2012 who will be the best time trialist Andy*«*the little Boss*» or Contador

[LaFlorecita]

I like the nick "The little Boss". In an ironic way of course!

Only I'm afraid the TS didn't mean it in an ironic way!

 

[Siriuscat]

Most pointless thread....EVER!!
Schleck either of them better than Contador.....off your rocker OP, I don't know which calendar you use but it's January FFS!!

Who would win in a TT between Contador v. The Schlecks in a 2Up is a better question.

 

[Mambo95]

I voted for Andy because there's a decent chance that Contador won't be doing any more time trialling in 2012.

 

[Cimber]

The guys who voted for any of the Schlecklets being better than Contador in a TT live in la-la-land

 

[Ferminal]

I voted for Frank

 

[Angliru]

Andy "the little boy" Schleck is most definitely not better than Contador. At anything.

He definitely has him beat in the "not taking responsibility for his failures" department.

Binge drinking. Partying. French. German. Fishing. Need I go on?!

...Moaning, *****ing, better not-going-downhill-fast, better not-going-uphill-fast-when-not-steep-enough, shift a gear in a proper time. Yeah, Andy is very good in many cases.

OT: For the past five years or so we have been promised "huge revelations" for what Andys Time-trialing concerns. Now we finally have the first 2012 promise. I waited exactly 27 days and finally it came. Sadly it is in January when Contador races in Argentina (still winning though not the best of forms) and while Andy sitting on his *** waiting for July (or LBL).

With Johan is all for July, they'll use an other ace for LBJ, maybe Frank.

Now, for a more serious question - who would win a a flat 40k Time Trial - Contador riding by himself, or the two Shrek brothers riding it in a TTT fashion (a-la Duo Normand)

It is ridiculous this thread has got 35 replies
Efffectively it has now become now an andy schleck hate thread to be placed alongside the other hundred of Andy Schleck hate threads.
Anyway, Bruyneel may enhance andy's tt skills slightly yet andy has been working on his tt for some time now already and anyway Contador is in all regards a stronger rider than andy.

To be fair, Andy deserves it.

Few people come into the sport wanting to hate Schleck. Few people when they first watched him thought " I dont like him".

Its because he degrades in a vicious way so many of the things we love about the sport from Sastre to the Giro to the monuments. Not just blows but low blows with brassknuckles when the ref isnt looking against innocent people, and all unprovoked.

Hes attacking our religion man.

It would be like logging onto a protestant website and being surprised that they don't like the pope

Anyways, nice religion metaphore about protestant websites! I was actually on this amish website the other day, turns out they don't like the pope either!!!

I never said he doesn't deserve it but it is still exaparating how even any slight oppurtunity there is for an insult is utilised and then taken totally over board. People do get the point after a while

 

[Christian]

But just for clarification.

Pope:

Jeebus (when he revealed himself on the holy mountain):

Note that a certain sect all dressed in orange betrayed him and tried to stab him in the back ....

Man, the pieces fit. Someone ought to write The Fuentes Code

Exactly, we don't need any more threads about which riders you hate. I thought this was a discussion forum, but it seems like its starting to become a place for people to talk about how much they hate different riders. We get it, you don't like him, stop posting threads on why you don't like him, they are useless.

A small percentage of fans hate Andy and Frank. Being on a climb in Bonnie Doon years back at the ToC, the fans had signs written cheering Lance and Andy.
The hatred for riders, whether it is Lance, Levi, Frank, or Andy is simply a pack mentality. Hating really is a self-loathing mechanism.

I voted for the little Boss

A while ago I read a comment on here by a user who was basically saying that if so many people hate him, then they must be right. I thought there was a life lesson in there - when in doubt, always go with the lynching mob. Or the guy with the baseball bat.

You have not posted much my friend but already created the funniest nickname since Wonderlance. For that I salute you

It's entertainment. If you don't like the jokes at Andy's expense you should learn not to read any of my posts pertaining to Andy since I've got this uncontrollable reflex when it comes to him. Haven't always had it but it's developed over the years.

It's odd that those that didn't take this thread seriously, as many of us knew not to, are getting raked over the coals for some of their responses. Could it be your skin is a bit thin when it comes to criticism of Andy?

Of course this hate only exists for those 3 riders. The rest are loved by one and all.
