I really dig Andy Schleck. So you will understand that I am very concerned about the following two stages. I am also getting really irritated with the way he keeps looking around like a lost little boy in a mall. He should rather just go for it, but then again he is a pro, not me.He managed to close Pistolero down yesterday, so Im really hoping his show of weakness is going to be exactly that, ... A show to fool the others.
Anyway are there any hubbers out there who feel that Andy can win this thing?

But he made too many enemies of the people who would keep us on our knee's.

I don't think so.
Andy is my second preference to win after Frank but I don't think Andy has the goods this year.
His form in California was dismal and he hasn't shown improvement since then.
Unless he attended the Johan Bruyneel school of tactics all winter I don't see how he can win this Tour...

I don't know what his issues are,but i saw him go up and down the hills at Luxembourg champs and he had no hassles.They hit speeds of 90km/h on some of the downhills.

When your form goes, so does your confidence. That explains him constantly looking around everytime he hits the front, and his fear of the descents.

Im a Andy fan but must say i dont think he is on form , he also needs to sharpen up on his maturity as he seems so concerned with AC and not focused on riding his own race. in doing this he will leave the door open for quite a few other riders that are quite capable of dropping him.
Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.

agree - if the schleck sisters werent so obsessed with AC, I'm sure they could possibly win the TDF. But instead of coming to race the TDF, they come to race AC every year. And he makes a monkey out of them every time.
They really should just get over AC. Clearly he's just not that into them

A small chance.
Possible, not probable, to claim the Golden Fleece on Sun.
His form has been hit-and-miss.
His TT strength is not dependable.
His team is not optimising their strategies.

No chance for Andy in my book. He'll do well to finish 5th in Paris...
