Kirchen's last prediction: "They (the Schleck brothers) will not finish in the top 10 at the Tour":

I'm a bit in a hurry,so I'll just write a few lines.I've just read an interview with Kim Kirchen (http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=14503 ) in which KK (Kim Kirchen,not King Kong) talks about different things.For example,he says that when he was racing in De Nardi team (just like Frank) he used to live in Treviso (Does anybody know if he and Frank used to live together?).
Btw,the thing that I noticed the most was KK's answer to a question about Frank's chances to win this year's Tour: "Frank is not that good in the time-trial and will probably lose a bit of time there. They (the question actually involved the only Frank,so I can't understand why KK says "they") will not finish in the top ten. They will lose maybe a minute behind Contador and Armstrong so it will be very difficult for them".
Well,I know that both the Schleck brothers aren't very good in TT,but I can't understand the "they will not finish in the top ten" sentence.Perhaps KK should look back at last year,where Frank did much better than he in TdF's GC...

NB:Today's stage at Vuelta al Paìs Vasco was won by Yuri Trofimov.Andy came 31st while Frank was 39th.They both ended in the main group together with all the other big names of the race (and all the other Saxo Bank riders).

  1. didn't like kirchen already but now i really really really don't like him.
    the only one who isn't gonna make it top ten is kirchen himself. Andy and frank will be first and second!

  2. I agree! It's totally unneccesary to say such things about people who once were your friend. I don't get why he keeps saying things about them. He needs to focus on himselve and not on the Schlecks.

  3. I agree with you all.KK has probably forgotten that in last year's Tour Frank finished ahead of him in the GC,even if "he's not that good in TT".I used to like KK,but after those words (and after what happened in last year TdF) my opinion about him has changed.

  4. Kimmi's probably just got anger/envy issues since he's been injured.
