Fred Agreed - (see other post ) But it's really ****ing hard to win a bike race - and now we have a guy that takes the triple ? Last time we saw that was Davide Rebellin - famous user of EPO and CERA and dq'd out of Beijing silver |

Now that there's no more doping in pro cycling, it's still a level playing field. (snicker) Fred |

Then he might have won LBL, and since he'd prevent Gilbert from winning the triple, we could have confidence that the winners are all clean. Now that Novitsky has scared everyone straight, I expect that this year we'll see some real suffering in the mountains. Sincerely, Fredmaster Ben |

Fred ==== "Killer instinct" may be a requirement for the Classics, but a GC contender is going to benefit greatly from "talent." But talent still has to be managed, and who is managing the Schlecks? If they'd been properly managed, wouldn't they have put a high priority on time trial performance? Recent results don't show that to be the case. Day after day after day, Andy has shown he can be there, he can avoid the big mistakes. But he's not going to do anything spectacular, and he's not going to win any TTs, so he remains vulnerable to guys like Alberto Contador and... well OK, not coming up with much of a list after that! --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

The Schleck brothers have a lot of talent, but they have no killer instinct. The Schleck's are optimized for long climbs while Gilbert is optimized for short anaerobic climbs so the Schleck's needed Gilbert to not be paying attention à la Boonen in last years PR to win, and it didn't help to have Voigt tell all and sundry they would be attacking on Faucons. Gilbert attacked them on Saint-Nicholas which was the only place they could have attacked and they were never going to drop a classics rider like him on the flat before the finish. The only other thing they could have tried was to do serial attacks in the last km before Ans but its doubtful it would have made much difference. They probably needed fast twitch fibres more than killer instinct. |
