Two years later he finally gets to rock the 2010 TDF yellow jersey…sure it is kind of anti-climactic for him this way but still will look nice in the trophy case: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/may/29/andy-schleck-2010-tour-de-france?newsfeed=true

That should match his european man purse nicely.
At least Andy knows what’s important:
“you don’t have the podium girls, everything around is different, Schleck said.”

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer lady…

About time. Such total bullshit that two TdF winners in 6 years have been crowned in some office complex somewhere in France.

Honestly, it should be done either the day or just prior to the Prologue of the TdF.

the first woman to win the TdF

That’s not a bad idea.
As far as I am concerned Schlek never won the TDF. Either you win it or you don’t. They should vacate the yellow jersey and leave it empty.
If the bride no shows at the wedding, the groom doesn’t marry the bridesmaid. And lets be perfectly honest-- Andy is an exceptional cyclist, but the dude hasn’t proven that he will ever be more than a GC runner-up. The tour practically custom built last years race to crown him champ and he still couldn’t pull it off.
A doping competitor is not an excuse. Lets not forget that every podium contender around Lance Armstrong got caught doping. Yet even though his top rivals doped, Lance Armstrong still managed to cleanly win 7 consecutive Tour titles.
( I just threw that last part in there to piss people off)
holy smokes Lance is pissed off about the first female winner
Wow. That was really, really, good. Well done.
I wonder if it came with a Fusilli Andy because I bet Johan has an idea of how he’d use it
.
Kinda looks like he is doing a Contador “fingerbang” salute as he slides his hand through the sleeve. I do the same thing as I put on my shirt in the morning, but in this case it may be misconstrued.

So cheat however you want and you win? Yeah right. That’s a stupid comment. What other cheating is OK? Next we’ll have no-hold barred cycle racing. Like Mad Max on bikes. SOrry bro, but you missed the point and spoke poorly.
That’s not my point at all.
My secondary point is that you need to win in spite of the cheaters. (Do you really thing this year’s field, or any other in the last 40 years has been completely clean?)
My main point is the Andy Schleck is undeserving of being awarded the yellow jersey. The guy has rarely ever gambled or dug down deep for a win. He just floats up mountain tops and bitches about how unfair the course was to him or how other riders didn’t follow proper race protocol. He has an excuse a minute, but really he is just the most talented loser in the world.
You mean you can ride grand tours, come in secong, win l-b-l and never have to dig deep. Damn, that must be my problem, I try to hard
He never gambled or dug deep? You clearly didn’t watch last year’s Tour… Amongst other races
What have all you people got against women?
(Having said that, I concur with the general sentiment that I think you are implying about Andy Schleck. He is a wuss, but that’s not a feminine trait.)
If you are a fan, I won’t hold it against you. But if you think he works hard and is a risk taker like cadel evans last year or even 4th place finisher Thomas Voeckler… then I would think you are in a minority. I don’t like how the andy races. I don’t think he deserves to wear the sports highest honor.
