Is Schleck the younger a bit too young to ride the TDF as well this year? If he does what are his prospects 'cos he looked awesome in the Giro and should be a major figure for years. I just hope he's 'clean' and leads the way in helping the reputation of cycling though he may soon have to distance himself from Riis to achieve this.

    I think it's fair to assume that Riis and CSC are doing everything possible to prevent 'doping' within the team so there should be no need for Schleck to move from the team on that count!!!!!!!!

  • Absolute madness to have a rider so young ride two GTs in a season.

    He does indeed appear to be a major talent,and I think many would agree he is young to do 2X3 week events.I seem to recall Robert Millar bemoaning the fact that his teams 'forced' him to do 2 'Tours' per season when he personally believed he would maybe have achieved more success only doing the one.
    I too would assume that CSC are/will be squeeky clean as regards 'performance enhancers'!!.
