So why shouldn't AC have a stomach full of anger now?

[lostincosmos]

If Andy was so angry about last year about people not waiting, why shouldn't he have waited for AC using the same logic? Certainly a fan-caused crash is more worth waiting for than a bad shift

If AC had a teammate in the lead group could he have stopped racing like Fabian did for AS last year I stage 3?

Bet we don't hear anything but happiness from Andy instead of applying his own logic and being consistent.

(for the record I'm not saying he should have waited, just saying he's being a hypocrite)

It must be said Andy didn´t attack. But he also offered some advice to Alberto.

Use your head Alberto".

Alberto Contador forgot to use his head, says Spain's biggest competitor for the Tour crown.

Andy Schleck sat namely true when the crash occurred about ten kilometers from the finish, and therefore won 1.14 minutes over Contador.

An excellent start for the Luxembourg-Tour favorite, since he already has put time in the bank compared to his Spanish rival.

- It is true that this time difference did not occur with the pedals. But race is also about using your head. You have to keep ahead, said Andy Schleck after the stage, according to Ritzau as commentary on Contador lost time.

Andy Schleck was actually involved in a crash shortly before the goal, but when he touched on the last three kilometers, will crash any time relevant to the Leopard Trek captain.

- It was a bad crash, but I was fortunately not injured, and I got the same time as the front.

- I pushed myself really hard to keep me up front. It was a nervous stage where I drove the last 25 kilometers from the front.

Hey thanks I appreciate that stuff. That said, AC wasn't far off the front. All the teams were cycling in and out of the front - it could have been nearly anyone who was caught out there. So I think the accusation that Alberto wasn't thinking is a bit off base.

My ambition was not to defend AS. He is as disgusting as anyone can be. But we all know after Tour de Suisse (racing Mollema) what a filthy hypocrite he is.

He also has the belly to "offer advice" given his own lack of knowledge on how to shift a gear.

 

[The Hitch]

he should definitely be furious.

I dont know why he isnt but i hope he destroys everyone big time in the mountains.


Just a shame its such a long wait till then so the strong emotion will die down.

Imagine Contador had said something like that after a certain "chain-event" last year....

Ha!
Or even better, as others have said in the forums, what if AC asked Andy how, then, Andy got caught up in the crash later in the stage

 

[red_flanders]

Great point. AS is turning out to be kind of a tool.

I hope Contador slays him in the mountains. From his for previously this year, if AS all of a sudden shows up as one of the top climbers, it's going to be fairly ridiculous.

 

[hfer07]

bottom line: AC has won the match of mental games against the master himself LA-what makes anyone believe AC is going to be bothered by a fool whose gearing skills are better than his words?

 

[Jeanne]

BUENO; as we all know in the end all the more or less stupid talking of any rider isn't gonna matter anyway.

I really appreciate Contadors ability to just SHUT UP and ride.

There would have been no limit to his tears, *****ing and moaning.

+100000

..and that's how he knocks them down: quietly

 

[henryg]

Contador didn't **** and moan. Nobody asked for the race to be neutralized because it was caused by a spectator, no crying about being held up by the guys in the second crash who did not have to chase back on.

He accepted that it's part of racing and he is focused on doing what he has to do. Baby Schleck is turning out to be a whining tool.

Simple answer: Had AC not attacked AS last year during Chaingate - and therefore, subsequently, had he lost the Tour 2010 to AS - the peloton might have waited for him yesterday. But luckily, the peloton has learned to play the game just the way AC loves to play it: dirty. Only mistake was that Leopard didn't send their guys to the front to put even more time into AC.

C'mon. We dunno and never will - wheter A.Schleck would have won the tour last year if "the thing" had not happend

The problem there, of course, is that the chain drop was andy's own fault AND AC didn't ride off alone - he went with other GC contenders as well. I'm afraid your argument has been well nullified many times over in these forums.

The real reason they bolted to leave AC behind? Racing is racing. That and they know if they don't they could get completely shelled in the Tour if AC is on form ( and if he IS on form, the 1.5 minutes won't be enough to hold him off)

Yes but Contador is evil. I was told that he was.

+10000 from me too.

Tired of mouths flapping. AC has handled himself perfectly, even while under the screws of his "teammates" in the past. Good on him.

 

[meat puppet]

so everything shall turn upon a yesteryear's mis-shifting on the part of the upper class twit of the year for the next three weeks. unreal.

ON topic: cos AC behaves himself like a pro and grownup, and, as someone said along the way, shuts up and rides? talk is cheap.

 

[bonaqua]

I would advice Alberto and Sammy to follow Vinokourov in flat stages. Vino is always positioned wisely in the pack regardless of his teammates

I would not listen to anything schleck has to say. This is the man who said that even if contador is found guilty and last years tour is taken off him contador will still be the winner in his eyes. Its this sort of attitude from riders like him which is the problem in this sport. Plus i dont like the schlecks riding style. Its like they are each others shadow. Do any of them have an ounce of independence from each other and ride a bit more selfish for once. Look at the national championships when andy just left frank for the win.

 

[Scansorial]

Maybe he does have a stomach full of anger, but he's going to let his legs do the talking.

 

[No_Balls]

Please ignore Siap1984. A clown and a troll who never respond.

I heard that and found it interesting. How could a "man" - so full of himself - complaining about everything not going his way, think a guilty rider is still a winner? As i said, intresting.

Plus i dont like the schlecks riding style. Its like they are each others shadow. Do any of them have an ounce of independence from each other and ride a bit more selfish for once. Look at the national championships when andy just left frank for the win.

Yes, we have all learn the last couple of years that when it is time to collecting in-form-riders for the Tour, the Schleckett-duo is always keen to show up, holding their hands.
