Miserable Git of the Year!

[NickM]

The award for 2011 goes to Johnny Schleck, father of Andy and Frank, who (unlike his sons) believes that Andy's tenure of the yellow jersey is purely temporary

I read that with some disbelief, thanks dad.

 

[Noodley]

He's right tho...

It's a shame Andy couldn't have been more realistic in his interviews before the TT today - he really does himself no favours and ends up looking like a prick every time

But could it possibly be down to the understanding of the English language as it is supposed to be the hardest lingo to learn in the world, what you say can be interpretated in different ways at times, so what he says in an unnatural dialect may not mean to us what he really hoped to put across. Look at all the clangers Jose Mourinho made in interviews at Chelsea.

You try getting your views across when you speak 3 to 4 languages. Andy comes across as a good lad imo I think he'll win GC next year.

He may do but I hope it's only as a result of becoming a better all round cyclist, the best all round won this year.

If you think back to how bad he was on TT a couple of years back, he has improved. His brother, sadly not as much. He seemed far more relaxed this year on the climbs too. How old is he now? 25? I still think he'll do it next year.

i dont think anyone could be critical of andys tour this year those 2 days of climbing showed the world a new level in in cycling andy needs to work on tt but maybe his physique just isnt suited as other riders ,


thought he would nail this year but next year i think he will be better prepared , maybe push earlier? .
