Andy and Frank Schleck’s future uncertain at Trek

Cycling weekly reports:



The situation for the Schlecks is well explained in this article. Andy Schleck has very little chance to improve this year’s standing. Frank does, and after his good performance in the Alps, could add some more good results in Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s stages, and maybe end up among the first ten in Paris. Which would save his standing, and by association maybe improve Andy’s luck. The Tour so far has been brutal. The many accidents are a problem. Maybe one should reconsider the number of participants, which increases the danger of mass crashes, and the stages on cobblestones, which is cyclo cross.


Otherwise the father Johny Schleck is right with his conclusions in the article. He is brutally honest, about the worst case scenario. My father, pretty much would have commented in his usual way: “Don’t you think it would be better to just buy you some sausage”. But sausage thing hopefully for the Schlecks is for a later day.
