Andy Schleck retires?

Noooo!

Surely not!

News today on Cycling News, apparently Andy has called a press conference for Thursday of this week, and the journalists are speculating that he is going to announce his retirement, in the wake of his various injuries, and the very real probability that he won't be getting a contract extension at Trek, bearing in mind that Frankie has already been re-signed.

Of course, he could be merely announcing that he's going to another team: this would be preferable from my point of view, of course, although it would be a darned shame that he wouldn't be riding with Frankie any more.

It could, of course, be a domestic announcement, maybe a second Baby Schleck on the way? Unfortunately, it's more likely to be a cycling announcement, and I guess we have no option but to wait for it to be reported.

Fingers crossed, Schlecklanders, fingers crossed...
