ScottCM Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 As much as it kills me to say, i think he needs to hit total rock bottom and then make up his mind, does he want to be a professional team leading cyclist or not.
Cellar Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Whoohoo Poor MTN... Yeah, reckon Doug wouldn't go near Frandy.
ScottCM Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 According to the Websites, Neither Andy nor Frank will be partaking in the Giro nor Amgen Tour of California this year. Leavung only the Critérium du Dauphiné and Tour de Suisse for them to try get some form before the Tour. As disappointed as i am in Andy this season, i hope he has been playing posem and come to form soon.

'Dale Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 He still wont be able to TT. what ever he's form is. He virtually had yellow until he dropped his chain.What a moment His future - not looking good at all. Frank is showing some good legs.
Squier Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 3 years on this thread is still going...and Andy still sucks...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 3 years on this thread is still going...and Andy still sucks... - Yah, maybe we need to just end it now and say - NO.
Jaco-fiets Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, reckon Doug wouldn't go near Frandy. Well they took Gerdeman.....
ScottCM Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 - Yah, maybe we need to just end it now and say - NO. I'm still quietly in the background hoping he will.
ScottCM Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Andy Schleck sees logic in his standing ahead of Tour de France Three years on from last wearing the maillot jaune, Andy Schleck (Trek Factory Racing) has acknowledged that it is "logical" that he does not feature among the list of favourites for the Tour de France due to his results in the intervening period."I agree with that. I don’t have any problem with that," Schleck told Le Quotidien. "I was 20th last year and I wasn't up there in the spring classics. That’s all logical. If it was the opposite, I'd be worried! If I'd read or heard somewhere that I was still a favourite for the Tour, I’d have picked up the phone and asked them if they were mad…"After missing the 2012 Tour through injury, Schleck finished 20th on his return to the race last year and has struggled for form so far this season. A recent Tour reconnaissance camp in the company of his brother Fränk did, however, bring back memories of his past achievements on the race, where he finished on the podium three years in succession from 2009 to 2011."When I came over the Izoard, I said to myself: 'That's where you attacked on the Galibier stage [in 2011].' At the bottom of the Tourmalet, I said to myself: 'Up there in 2010, I won the stage ahead of Contador. When we came by Port de Balès, I said to myself: 'That's where you attacked and then slipped your chain.'"I thought of all of that again, obviously. It's true that at those moments, I felt very strong. Of course I want to be so again. I want become the same as I was before."Schleck's 2014 classics campaign was upset when he hurt a knee in a crash during Amstel Gold Race, and he said that it was something of a relief when a scan on the injury showed that the damage was real. "It's a bit funny to say it, but yes, I was glad that they showed I was suffering from tendinitis," he said. "I said to myself: ‘I’m not mad after all!’ It reassured me."Schleck was speaking ahead of the Tour of Luxembourg, which got underway on Wednesday night with a 2.5km prologue time trial, won by his Trek teammate Danny van Poppel. Schleck finished 27 seconds down in 41st."I want to help Fränk to try and win the overall, that's my ambition," he said. "That what I want to do above all. After that, we'll see…"After the Tour of Luxembourg, which concludes on Sunday, Schleck continues his build-up to July with the Tour de Suisse and his national championships.
Chro Mo Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 After all this time, the short answer remains NO. I hope he does something special come July, but I am not counting on it. He was really the epitome of class in his heyday - when going uphill! Real pity.
Jakkals. Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Well they took Gerdeman..... Who the hell is Linus Gerdemann? Recently, German rider Linus Gerdemann said that Armstrong's return may not be in the best interest for the sport's credibility. "He's right, I am older. I raced with Sean Kelly, Stephen Roche, Miguel Indurain and Greg Lemond of all people. I have been around a long time and I don't know who the hell Linus Gerdemann is, but I know that when I rolled up in 1992, I started winning races. And when I roll up in 2009, I am gonna be winning races. He better hope he doesn't get in a breakaway with me because I can still ride hard," said the Texan.
