El Pistolero said:He had a stomach bug, like half the Lotto squad.
He was good at every stage race he did this year actually. Good at Algarve, Catalunya and Dauphiné. Was with the best uphill at Pais Vasco, but ruined his GC in the time trial.
Andy is much worse considering he's much more talented. VDB2 needs to work hard for the results he gets, Andy is a huge waste of talent. These guys couldn't be any more different. If VDB2 had the talent of Andy Schleck he'd have won a couple of GTs by now.
What bothers people is that he always goes for 4th of 5th. Ok that's his level but why aim for the tour then? He'll never podium it.
He should try and aim for the giro, and honestly I don't think he's exciting at all. And he's a douch(e).
And good is always being top 10 in the other races or what?
For a guy who is 4th in the tour, you would expect more in the other races. Look at sami sanchez for example and in the classics vdb didn't do ****.
He should stop dreaming of the tour, just like Gesink btw
