Grand Tours Loom for Andy Schleck

All the Spring Classics have now passed. Off all the victors of the Classics only Andy Schleck is likely to contend for a Grand Tours podium to snuggle with his LBL win.

Schleck has been building his form in the shape of domestique work and occasional all-night rave parties in New York. Having a dad that also raced professionally, and Frank, his older brother bodes well for the 23 year old. His head is firmly on his shoulders, and his feet have dynamite.

In last years TDF he chaperoned his sibling through the Pyrenean and Alpine stages. This year Andy Schleck will be given wings. Frank disappointed last year, especially in the final time trial (even though the rumour is that he waited for Sastre to give the Spaniard a carrot to race against).

A big question on everyones mind is "Can Andy time trial against the best?"

My guess is that Saxo Bank and Astana are going to have a nuclear explosion in July. The fans can enjoy the fallout from the safety of their TV rooms.
