word on the streets is that Andy Schlep will retire on Tuesday.......Does anyone know if this is true?
All I can think of is what a waste of God given talent, and what a waste that he was never able to put the work in to become a Grand Tour Winner, or should I sad a "Legitimate" Grand Tour Winner
I just could never get why he was unwilling to put the time in to improve his sad Time Trial skills

Prediction: yawns to follow.
Yes I may be wrong, but he's yet another example of doping better until backing off. Plus not being super hungry for success at any cost.

Kind of hard to retire from something your really no longer a part of. Already been forgotten.

Things we learned from Andy Schleck:
-shift, then attack, but not both at the same time
-a little time on the TT bike can't hurt
-blood is thicker than water (although nothing is thicker than Bjarne's blood)

Hopefully he can figure out what to do; the press conference left vibes about someone deeply unhappy and at odds with himself. Mentally broken.

This is what can happen when physical and mental ability to compete at highest level are not in sync. Its a pretty common theme in top sport.
