Watch the prelimary report on rtl.lu with Schleck interviews.And an interview (just audio) with Fränk after the race.
Olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé, olé...
Just a few minutes ago Andy won Liège - Bastogne - Liège (or Léck-Baaschtnech-Léck how the Luxembourgians call it). I only watched the last 15 kilometers but I just loved what I saw. I have to admit that I not only loved to see Andy win but the whole thing that started about two kilometers before they reached the finish.
Everytime the camera showed Fränkie, he smiled like he would attend the smiling world championships and turned his thumb up. Additionally it was very touching to see how the fall into the others arms after the race.
Btw the German commentators told a cute story from last year when Fränkie finished third and Andy fourth at Liège - Bastogne - Liège. The two wanted to congratulate eachother for the great race but they were in different areas and a policeman wanted to stop Fränkie to change to areas to meet Andy and then they had great arguments. They almost started a fist fight until another policeman told that it is okay to change the areas...
I just love the brotherly love between the Schlecks!
But today's win wasn't the only great thing happened during this week for the the best cycling brothers on earth. Surely the beginning of the week was a bit suboptimal with Fränkies fall but after seeing him on the bicycle again, I'm pretty sure that it didn't affect him to much and that he had again enough blessing in disguise.
Instead of starting at the Flèche Wallone he took a short break and made a great race today. Catching every guy who just had the idea of attacking puppy Schleck's victory ;) And I think that I don't have to talk about how amazing the week were for Andy. Second at Flèche Wallone, First at Liège - Bastogne - Liège.
Life could go on like that...

Andy Schleck best bike racer of the universe!!
The way he raced was just unbelievable.And it seemed that Frank was going to cry right after the finish of the race.
Yeah... I thought the same especially when he huged Riis. I remembered me of something that Fränkie told last year: He is always more happier when Andy wins then when he wins himself.
WOW it's been a couple of hours ago that he won but i still can't believe it. And frank looked also so happy :D
Magnificent. Just magnificent.. This will be remembered for a long time :-)
