Fantastic win by Andy and that boy is crazy! He's going to win the Tour this year or next year, that I am sure of!
I think Contador is a little bit too strong this year...

Maybe, we'll have to wait and se, but last year Andy was very strong during the Tour, but on the first mountain stage he lost so much time that he had to help Carlos Sastre. This year he's going to be te captain and then we will se a Andy who will be there fighting for the overall victory.

He may be as good as Contador in the mountains, but not in a TT |

Andy is very strong, but Contador is in "other" level.
Maybe one day ( next season probably) Andy can be at is level  |

I think that Andy will be much stronger at TT's this year and I am sure that Bjarne Riis and Saxo Bank har practiced a lot on TT with Andy to prepare him for the Tour.

Com'on Andy is still too young. Me thinks that Frank will be the team-leader.
Andy should be pleased keeping the white jersey, now with Gesink coming.

Fränk is not good on TT's at all! In fact he is worse than Andy on TT and Andy is also better than Fränk in the mountains, so why would they choose Fränk as their team leader in the Tour?

Come on..give him a break. Andy is young ..but smart rider..no need to rush after TdF win.
Riis will make him TdF winner sooner or later..let's give him time..no need to but him under a pressure. Has Contador will be in this year TdF |

last year Frank and Sastre were the team leaders. Andy never rode fir himself.
though that I remember Frank saying that was his last chance to win the Tour (win the Tour yeah right...) I still think that they won't risk their Tour performance making Andy the team leader cause being young makes him unpredictible and losing everything in one bad day.

No, Andy never rode for himself, but that's because he had one bad day during the whole Tour, and that where at the first mountain stage and he lost so much time that he didn't get the opportunity to ride for himself, he was forced to ride for Carlos and Fränk. But a few times he was allow to attack and he easily got away from the others.

yeah I remember that him chasing Menchov (when the Russian got down) and the others couldn't stay even in Andy's wheel. But that's my point Frank was almost every mountain stage there looking strong while Andy had one really bad day and lost every chance. That could happen again cause he doesn't have the consistency that you can see at a older rider.
