roadbiker said:It's a fair decision from Andy to ride the Tour, but I fear (for him) that we wouldn't even make the podium.
Evans, Wiggo, Berti (if allowed) + another will battle for the win and 1-3 spots.
Andy winning the 2012 tour would be the biggest sensation in cycling during the last 10 years.

Ryo Hazuki said:the only reason contador didn't win the tour last year was because of his crashes. if that's what bruyneel said he is an idiot
It's not that they don't know about cycling, it's that they start from the premise that only the Tour matters. With that in mind, their position makes perfect sense.airstream said:Unlike their critics, Bruyneel and Schleck are morons. To be sure! CN forum members know cycling better.![]()
Forunculo said:Maybe I'm a moron too but Bruyneel tricky words try to justify another lazy year for Andy![]()
Pretty clear he is gonna be fresh to do two or three "Galibers stages"

"Giro is a nice race but it's not the Tour and never will be"![]()
airstream said:Its ok. I just don't get the position "I love the one, that's why I hate another". That's unsportsmanlike.
Forunculo said:"I love the one, that's why I hate another" position is not mine
I don't hate any rider, I dislike his approach to whole sport. Van der Broeck was in the same league last year, we'll see this year.

Michielveedeebee said:VdB2 was also competitive in the vueltaalthough that was more because he had to save his season ^^ And because he's not good enough to have 2 major peaks. Andy should be. Evans wins throughout the year, and won the Tour, Contador as well. Andy is in the same league as those guys. He just pussies out every time he has to race

Anyway being 5th (it was 5th?) it isn't a free ticket to did nothing until July, that's my view![]()

"I don't see him as a threat for the GC. It was a fluke year and he had good teammates and although he won't say it he won the Tour because of us

But it's what Andy has been trying for the last 4 seasons, and it's never worked. Are you familiar with that saying that goes "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"?
At the end of the day, Andy's sacrificing his whole career for nothing.
