I like Richie Porte’s, Saxo rider and Giro white jersey winner, appraisal of Andy Schleck, “He’s skinny.” Probably good to not give him too much praise, we don’t want the white knight of the peloton getting the big head.
And therein, I think, lies his greatest problem, Mr Blonde. He doesn't have the build of a trialer, a great all-arounder.
Unless he is able to ramp up his trialing he'll forever be in Contador's shadow.
