Knowing Andy Schleck, he will probably do nothing in the GC |

As previously mentioned, A. Schleck is going to the Vuelta as a helper for Fuglsang. |

And nr. 5 too
Hopefully, Gesink can do well without a proper team. There's a lot of people out there anxiously waiting to see what he can do in a GT.
And don't forget the Dutch mega talent Pieter Weening!  |

Why Gesink not? He did very good Vuelta last year and this year he did improved in TT and was doing well in Dauphiné... I think that TOP5 is possible for him... |

Oh sorry...my English 
I thought you said that Gesink is the talent too, but in a few years he will not be improving and will be domestique, as Weening  |

If Weening had actually kept his level of 2005 he would already be much better 
Too bad he never progressed but even got worse after 2005. He had a lot of knee injuries because he is using a too big gear on every climb... |

Got my Pro Cycling today with all the stage profiles inside it.
I'm very much looking forward to it. Especially Stages 12,13,14 all 3 of which are summit finishes in one big block. And to make things better, they are Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Stage 8 another summit finish on a Sunday with Xorret de Cati the following day.
I'm officially a fan of the race profiles, now all we need is a good race.
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"

I will save this quote. Then I have something to laugh at at the end of the Vuelta
And before you start about my chauvinism, I never shout 'Gesink will win GC' or 'Maaskant will destroy ereveryone'. I just hope they do well like any other normal person supporting their riders. |

I know I know... I was just happy for him. I know he probably won't win the GC haha. Just good to see he is getting something...back.
His facebook status said he was in such emotion and thanked all who have worked with him through his pain and sorrow times. I say congrats to him. |
