For our new series "Cycling Interviews" we might have the chance to ask Andrew Talansky some questions.
So you have 1 week (until next Friday) to ask questions we will pick the best ones out, as every single question would be simply too much, and send them back.

Top effort on your Dauphine win, is that the most rewarding in your eyes?
How did the Lance affair affect you as an American cyclist? (can understand if this isn't asked though)
As two young talented GC-challenging Americans, is there much of a rivalry with Tejay? |

Who was your biggest influence in cycling?
Beeing an American hope, do you think you have what it takes to one day win a Grand Tour? |

I've recently seen an old interview where you said you asked Lance Armstrong if he was going to do any work. My question: Are you the coolest person ever on this planet?!
Your Dauphine victory is the stuff of legends, just like your interview afterwards. In that big group of breakaway riders, who did you have talks with to form an allegiance or was the end goal for all riders the same and it did not matter? Did you fear at any point the riders behind you like Van den Broeck or Yates or were you primarly concerned to keep Contador at bay?
What did you make of SKY tacticts that particular day? In what way, did they surprise you?
There's some talks of a Cannondale-Garmin merger: How do you think your GC ambitions can profit from the talents of a man like Sagan? And how might you be of assistance to Sagan?
I understand that you and Vaughters came to together because he helped you in a race, gave you a bottle. So this is quite some wonderful cycling romanticism: What does this mean to you still today? How do you imagine it to be different to the simple contract signing of another youngster?

In the press you have been linked with a move to Team Sky, is that something that you would consider ? |

After crashes on stage 5 & 8 in this years tour de france took you out of the lead group and subsequently lose time on your rivals how do you mentally recover from these accidents when you have to race hard the next day?

As your biggest fan (And Dan Martin's biggest fan as well), what is it like to crash in a GT, knowing every second you lose puts an end to why your there? personally it made me want to opt out.
On the other hand, how do you keep calm in a race like Dauphine when you can't follow an acceleration by the race favorites? Other riders seem to have a "stay on the wheel until I crack" mentality, while you are able to stay cool and bridge it alone.

What is it like to other cyclists to see the top 2 contenders of the TDF abandon a race?
