'Dale Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Shame. Andy's another Raymond Poulidor (2nd three times, 3rd five times). What a stat, damn... AND IT THOUGHT CADEL WAS THE LEADING ALMOST-MAN before last year
'Dale Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Andy Schleck on hearing the verdict on Berto I trust that the CAS judges took all things into consideration after reading a 4,000 page file. If now I am declared overall winner of the 2010 Tour de France it will not make me happy. I battled with Contador in that race and I lost. My goal is to win the Tour de France in a sportive way, being the best of all competitors, not in court. If I succeed this year, I will consider it as my first Tour victory.”

'Dale Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 He won the 2010 TdF ....... ... official race record but not inside his psyche
gummibear Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 He was on the radio this morning and doesn't want to accept the win.In the photos AC still stand on top of the podium for 2010.
'Dale Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Understandable Most opinions in the pro peloton thus far have been of shock and surprise about the verdict
=Mr Bones= Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I don't think there are any serious sprots people that want to win their races by a disqualification.....the sweet taste of beating your closets rival stays with you forever and fuels your psyche for the next challenge.
Capcha Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Andy agrees with you. "There is no reason to be happy now”, Schleck said in a RadioShack-Nissan press release“First of all I feel sad for Alberto. I always believed in his innocence. This is just a very sad day for cycling. The only positive news is that there is a verdict after 566 days of uncertainty. We can finally move on.” “I trust that the CAS judges took all things into consideration after reading a 4,000 page file. If now I am declared overall winner of the 2010 Tour de France it will not make me happy. I battled with Contador in that race and I lost. My goal is to win the Tour de France in a sportive way, being the best of all competitors, not in court.

Squier Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Found some new respect for Andy after reading this. 2012 could be his last chance... unfortunate for him that there are two TTs this year.
