Schleck Loss a Mechanical Nightmare

[on3m@n@rmy]

Yesterday Andy Schleck lost the Tour GC by a total 39 seconds, the exact amount he lost on the controversial stage 15 when he his chain popped off and he was subsequently attacked by Alberto Contador. Film of the incident from stage 15 clearly shows Andy's chain coming off, followed by Vino attacking off Andy's right side, and then FOLLOWED by Alberto speeding past Andy's left side. Alberto had to know of Schleck's mechanical, yet he attacked anyway! Alberto clearly broke the un-written rule that racers don't attack the yellow jersey when the yellow jersey is down or having mechanical problems. For that lack of respect by Alberto, I give Alberto NO respect for his Tour victory! I feel bad for Andy, who could have won the Tour if he could take back those 39 seconds from stage 15. I hope Andy wins the overall GC next year. Anyone agree, yay or nay?

Cool story bro

vino has been administered electric shock therapy by the former soviet union cycling program to attack every 45 minutes, to the second, in races. it was nothing personal against andy and contador had to follow his wingman even though he knew it was going to cause trouble later.

Has been argued to death - time to move on.

Everyone knows Vino caused that chain to slip with his mental powers, nothing you can do about that.

Aaaannnddd...oh right...during Stage 3 Baby Andy and his Saxo goons didn't bother to wait for Race Leader/Yellow Jersey Chavenel when he was "down or having mechanical problems" (ie. they attacked).

KARMA'S A B!TCH! DEAL WITH IT!


p.s. --did you watch Stage 20? Baby Andy and his faux attack? He effed up yet another gear change! He really has a lot to learn.

He actually did it during the TT too, it costed him a few seconds as he almost crashed.
