Schlecks Depreciation Thread

[Weapons of @ss Destruction]

Andy Schleckond.

The schleckond best stage racer in the world has not even won a stage race. Contador wins a few every year.

Second best stage racer must mean best at coming in second.

AS seems to be right where Cuddles was at a few years ago - carrying a couple of TdF second place finishes in the bag, and a lot of questions about his fortitude - before he reinvented himself.

Lol my dad after an interview of Andy today:

"I think he has an IQ of 50."

My mom likes Andy though.

Thing is, Fränk is mostly sane and only gets going with inane comments when there really was something bothering him - and many other riders comment on those as well.

Andy, on the other hand, is really pulling both the team AND his brother down in the mud with his constant *****ing. I'll be enormously glad once this Tour is over, maybe he'll learn a thing or two from it. He's in dire need of some experience, both racing-wise (come on, slower than Ivan "I'm so afraid to go downhill holy hot damn" Basso on the downhill stretch? That's a big chunk) and PR-wise.

How about if he starts winning some 1-week stage races first, and then perhaps he'll have a chance, mentally, to win a TdF...

My mom-thank God- on the other does not When Ilse Vanhoecke said descents were oh so dangerous she just said: "it's a part of cycling, you got to be able to handle a bike"
My mom is awesome

 

[Michielveedeebee]

and c'mon guys, give him some credit, he already won the white jersey a couple of times

He could try to win the fourth (soon to be 2nd) GT. Unless of course he's left behind on a highway overpass.

oh, by all means, yes!

Wow. . .they were surprised that Contador attacked today? We need to find Jens and Cance another team to ride for. . .

and few seconds later they said but we know when contador feels well he attacks, so they thought contador wasn't feeling well, what idiots. they didn't see him already improving massively from luz ardiden to plateau de beille

He's up there with Vladimir Karpets then.

What is a mom?

Does everyone learn their English from American TV ads now? Eugh.

and Francisco Mancebo and Popo.

 

[luckyboy]

Maybe this is it. Andy will descend into mediocrity and struggle to top 20 in GTs.

(no pun intended there)

 

[dbrmuz]

Just amazing that they would blame Contador for attacking when AC is feeling strong and happens to be riding in conditions that don't suit "The Schlecks".

How bloody unsportsmanlike! Will AC come out & sook that Cadel shouldn't have dropped him on the descent? Or,seeing AC actually knows how to win a Tour or two,will he just try & get on with it?

I respected Pandy before this race,but not now.Pathetic.

 

[Zaschrona]

What is this thread about?

Schlecks are so awesome, some people like them (as I like them ), some not, end of story! We don't need 10 threads about 20 pages for that!

Where do I sign, for that to happen?

Vladimer Karpets has had a bigger effect on the GC this Tour than Andy so far.

lololololololollol

that is most certainly true

 

[WonderLance]

Andy was right. The tour is abotut getting the best riders from other teams paying them there own weight in delicious luxembugerish cheese, and getting them to hold you upright on you tricycle until you hit the foot of a climb. Then seing who can win a tt to the top, you or your brother. Its certainly not about going DOWN hills!

I think these ladies would take offense at the suggestion that their sex is an indication of weakness or some sort of handicap:

 

[davestoller]

Apparently Andy announced in the rest day press conference that he was afraid of the descent into Gap.

FAIL

nice artilce in velonews capturing the poor tactics
