Schlecked!

Once you’ve seen one Schleck crash, you’ve seen them all! (Schleck + descent + curve = drama.)

That’s how it’s spelled.

Dit is een groot drama!

Not that I am wishing for anything to keep him from racing. Nope. Never.

in his case what goes up sometimes doesn’t come all the way down. Descendus interruptus frequendus.

I hope he doesn’t have stairs in his house.

And nerves, maybe. What makes the great bike handlers, erm, great, is that they don’t ever lose their nerve and can save a bad situation from getting worse. Good bike handlers are good until the poop hits the fan, then they are more likely to lose it than the greats. Poor bike handlers just crash a lot. Me, I think Schlecky isn’t too bad, he just freaks when he gets to the edge of his control, and rather than steady himself and save it, he Schlecks. Hard thing to overcome really, because the more often he crashes, the less likely he is to master the nerves and keep it upright.

Not that it’s unusual for cycling, I suppose. But I think someone could make a killing inventing a lightweight, comfortable collarbone protector.

if maybe he was Schleckileptic.
