Poll: Ullrich vs Schleck

[airstream]

Parrulo, thank you for being exceptionally polite to me. I obviously don't deserve it.

Schleck changed gears and his chain popped. You don't need to be an expert to see his mistake. He has done it multiple times already.

Such as............... here:

Doesn't matter.

Ullrich is a legend, Schleck will never come close. No matter how much he wins.

well said.

You could say that it will be to the Schlecks advantage to work under Bruyneel. It would also be fair to say that Contador didnt have any advantages from working under Bruyneel, in fact, you could possibly say that he was disadvantaged by it.

What about in 2007 annd 2008? Was Bruyneel a disadvantage to Contador then?

well my first sentence was just a little bit of friendly sarcasm and the rest was the explanation of the situation, i may have been harsh on the experts part but tbh if i wasn't right on that you would be quoting and naming said experts now and not moving the discussion to a personal level instead of just admitting that you were wrong.

anyway no need to private message me saying i won't succeed at driving you away from this forum as i most certainly don't intend to do so, iirc this must be one of the first times i reply to one of your posts whom from what i have read in the past few days are all about andy schleck.

anyway /caring

Well I did't insist on being right and wrote that version so that possibly some of you could correct me. I heard that explanation from russian Eurosport commentator, an avid Contador fan, who couldn't miss the opportunity to make a dig at Schleck once more.

Well let a Contador "fanboy" chime in here since you insisted. ... the 2008 Giro where with a cracked elbow and minimal prep (deny that as you like, it was true) Contador still won.

Ricco dropped AC in every mountain in this Giro. And the beachboy-winning-Giro-story was a fairytale just like a certain steak... But you are right: Of course Ricco is not the best climber of his generation. I referred to the malpractice of praising certain caught dopers (AC) and condemning others (Ullrich) or innocent-til-proven-guilty-guys (A. Schleck) as cheats.

Is there a reason you failed to address the part of my post that followed what you selectively quoted?

I tend to stay out of the who doped and didn't debates so you won't see me condemning Ullrich (ever) or calling Andy a doper.

I think picking Ullrich is not the right choice here.

He has won it.
