    Schleck (and O'Grady) have already mentally left Saxo-Bank.

    Frankly, his attitude is very unprofessional and Riis would be completely justified in susending his pay. It doesn't matter if it was 1 pint or 10, he hasn't respected the rules imposed on all the riders and thinks he's a special case.

    All this from a 'superstar' rider, who's only (for all his potential) stage race win to date is the Fleche du Sud. Ages ago.

    yeah the first thing i thought when i heard was the old classic that i'm leaving so i can do what i like.

    seems rather stupid to me though when involved in the start up of a new team & looking for sponsors & such like :roll:

    I agree but that's a heck of a partial look at Schleck's palmares :wink:

    Is it true that they were out til 5am ?? At first I thought Riis had overreacted, but if thats true - then I'm with him 100%.

    Who cares,. Schlecks have their shiny new team, Riis gets Contador and potentially the Double he's always wanted to achieve as a DS - everyone's happy and the 2011 season should be interesting...

    Reading some of the Danish reports is interesting. Looks like they were bust coming back in at 5:30 but someone who wasn't Riis, Andy may have been drunk at the start. And it wasn't the first time in this Vuelta.

    Andy, me old mucker, top tip, there is no personality in the bottom of a bottle.

    I know - was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but does illustrate a point. Schleck thinks he's the big 'I am', but he's hardly a win machine. Sure, when he puts his mind to it, he's the second best Tour de France climber/rider in the peleton. Hardly worthy of a 'normal rules don't apply to me' mentality. I've gone right of Andy Schleck since this year's Tour - he's clearly starting to beleive his own hype.
