Nothing left in the tank

Just a little quote from Fränk about Andy's bad day at Hautacam.

"Andy didn't have a good day on Monday. That's because we're like twins: Andy gave all his energy to me and he had nothing left in the tank."

Two winners, no losers

The official poll about who is our favorite Schleck ended with no clear result. Ten persons voted for cute-Andy, ten for sexy-Fränk and two can't decide ;) I have to say that I'm not unhappy with that result because it's the greatest when both Schleck triumph!


Still two weeks until Amstel Curacao Race - I'm waiting ;)

Btw- great side, Anke ;)

In memoriam

First the two principal German publicity owned channels ARD and ZDF decided that they won't show the Tour de France (and every other cycling event) next year. Because they don't want to use the money of the taxpayers to support cheaters :(
First of all not all cyclists are cheaters and moreover I would be happy if they use my money to support this "cheaters"!

Later today the organizers of the Deutschland tour announced that the 2009 edition will be canceled, following the doping cases that were revealed because they can't find any interested sponsors. -Thank you Mr Schumacher, Mr Kohl and all the others like "The pressure was incredibly strong. I'm only human and in this exceptional situation I showed weakness".

I really liked the Deutschland Tour because it is the reason why I became a fan of cycling ;) Last year the city where my uncle lives was destination of one stage and it was the first time I saw cute Andy when he got the jersey of the best young rider... I didn't watch cycling at that time just a bit of TdF or some years ago when everyone here in Germany did it (and nobody talked about doping) but after that day I started watching ;)

In the end some pics of the previous Curacao Races to cheer me up after that bad news...

Rina- get your gun ;)

Allez Andy

Nothing more to say ;)

I can hardly stand it!

Andy is the cuter Schleck, Andy is the cuter Schleck, Andy is the cuter Schleck...

... I've ever thought that. Since I first saw them I thought that Andy is the cuter brother but now...

... I found this picture of Fränkie and I'm torn. I don't know what this photo does with me but ...*sigh*... I knew before that I love his eyes but now I love them even more. And he looks so innocent. It remembers me a bit of Andy - I want to hug him as well :D

Who gets the jersey?

After Stefan Schumacher the next cyclist of the Gerolsteiner team was tested positive for CERA... Austrian Bernhard Kohl won the polka dot jersey at this year's TdF.

Now I read that Carlos Sastre will get the jersey of the king of the mountains. Sastre had 80 points but Fränk had also 80 points... Does someone know why? I read somewhere because Sastre won the stage to Alpe d'Huez but that wouldn't be fair, I think.
Both should get the jersey ;) Additionally (if the second test is also positive) Fränk would become 5th in the general classification and Andy 11th. But I think they would prefer to stay as 6th/12th if there would be no new doping case... and me too.


And Fränkie?? Does someone know what goes on in Luxembourg?

Bon appetit!

Two new pics of our favorite cycling-brothers ;) Probably you already know them but for me they are new... I found some while looking for an older article about them in a German newspaper. I didn't find it but instead these pictures ;)

Funny who concentrated Andy looks while putting ketchuo on his... whatever. And Fränk pays with a 50€-bill ;)

Does someone know who is the guy in the middle?
