Unless the schleck sisters learn to time trial (HIGHLY UNLIKELY) they will never win a grand tour.

 

Unless everyone else in the field crashes and breaks their collar bones.... and substitutions werent allowed....... and the wind didnt blow......

I see the Schlecks leaving Bruyneel after this season, not sure if their contracts allow this but the sooner they leave the better.

 

I would like to see the brothers on different teams.

 

I guess their whole Luxembourg team idea got demolished by the merger with radioshack...

Yeah, at least the chicken man stuck to his guns and got a danish team rolling. he's probably got more balls in one of his freckles than the sisters' have between em...

Reason ?

 

He went through the divided loyalty thing with the fat boy. I figure he would have sooner rather than later booted one (and they wouldn't have gone for that) to focus on a single Tour winner, and when that went in the crapper, he would have binned them and bought a single winner. Oh, he still has one. Enter the 2012 Vuelta winner stage left...

Andy ins a talented bike rider and I still believe with the right guidance he is capable of winning the Tour de France

 

I disagree. He's too soft. In the inside. Where it matters. No killer in that piece of pink flesh. You need to be a killer to win some of these bike races. Man against man, he'll be taken apart, ten times out of ten.

I still think with the right guidance he can win the Tour de France, it's just my opinion

 

 

Currently, Riis and Bruyneel are the very best. If the girls can't win under either of them, then I don't know.

Hopefully Andy can learn this mindset.

 

You don't learn it. You have it, or you don't. Ask even a part time winner like Hunter. He was born with with it.

I hear what you saying like Armstrong and Ullrich. Ullrich never had that killer instinct he was happy with his one Tour victory. Also look at Conti in last year's Giro when he was being booed on the climbs he still wanted those victories.

Life experiences can change the weak into the strong, let's see what happens i'm still going with Andy for Tour win, maybe not this year though :ph34r:

 

definitely not this year, unless he can TT better than Martin...

Andy has what it takes to win this years Tdf. HOWEVER, he needs to be a consistent climber and attack in the mountains when ever possible. He needs to put in a attack early in the tour and maintain the advantage even if he can pull 30 sec per stage in the mountains knowing he is not the best time trialist even though he has been putting in alot of training to get better. He will never be a multiple tour winner and he is pretty good at keeping his form on a low down till TDF time. I supported him last year and I will be supporting him again this year when I am there. Now if voigt was ten years younger and a leading rider that would be awesome.

I dont believe Bruyneel is all he is cracked up to be, he is living on past glory, since LA and Berto he has been pretty much lost in the wilderness, plus he lost a lot of moral credibility when he was also named in some of the legal challenges faced by Armstrong.

 

I would say Vaughters is streets ahead of Bruyneel now when it comes to running a competent team, although Riis, I believe, is likely still one of the best around right now.

There is talk that Johan was served with a subpoena as soon as he arrived in the US and A.
