schleck's ...are they have beens?

[luigiV]

Is it just me or are the schleck brothers done theyre dash with the tour de france can you see them makeing the next step ?

 

[luigiV]

dont get me wrong i'd love to see them both double teaming alberto up a climb in the tour...but i just dont see it happening yeh they attack but dont seem to have that extra horsepower that makes the difference

 

[Descender]

Funny.

Wait... no it isn't.

 

[ferryman]

Has beens = beyond ridiculous.

As for double teaming Alberto, who knows. I doubt very much AC can take the form he has right now into France so we shall see. If he does, at least, Andy will give him a closer run than anyone in Italy has.

I think your OP would have been better phrased - 'The Sclecks - can they step up' or similar.

I Lol'd.
I don't even understand the basis of the question.

If anything the schlecks (andy at least) has shown more activity compared to there years.

 

[Midnightfright]

Im not entirely sure what your getting at? If your trying to say that they need to step up to the plate and may buckle under the pressure i think the complete opposite Andy for me seems fairly laidback almost to a fault and i dont think it will be too much of a problem.

They are without Riis juice no, that's their problem.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

At andy's age, it has to happen this year, or it's too late indeed.

 

[Midnightfright]

They are without Riis juice no, that's their problem.

Im sure they will have other types of juice avalible

You make because Andy couldn't follow in the Tour of California? Sastre couldn't follow in the Dauphiné in 2008, and he went on to win the Tour. Never judge someone on a preparation race.

I believe he's shown less activity then the previous years.

OK for 2010 but he was injured in the early months.

In 2009, 8th at the Montepaschi. 2011, he was 32nd.

I think Frank has under achieved in grand tours but the time trialling has always been a problem. I think the best is yet to come for Andy.

because he was working for a teammate, if I recall.

All the races where he rode for his own interest actuall came out slightly better than last year, or at least on the same level. Also, he always looks quite composed and at ease, so we're not really seeing it all right now. :-/

The Schlecks aren't has beens by any stretch of the imagination. It looks like Andy is trying to take other parts of the season more serious than he has in the past (his TOC performance was significantly better than it was last year which is progress).

Don't worry, they will be protagonist at the TdF with or without AC's presence.

I only hope that someone steps up and fight's the Schlecks for the yellow jersey if AC is not there. Maybe Cadel will be in top form and will not have a bad day and will stay on his bike.

Cuddles can't climb with Andy. He'll grind away, but I can't see him having enough. My hope is that Basso and Szymd are on their Giro form from last year. And it would tickle me if Horner was there to put the smack down on everyone. Beetroot juice!

i've got some interesting pic of Andrew and Frankin 'double teaming'. Lets just say that in these pic's Andrew has no trouble adjusting his gear.
