Andy Schleck’s Chain Fell Off

Fuck. His chain fell off. Andy Schleck’s chain, that is. And there went his competitors up the hill by him. Not fair, or sportsmanlike.

Wait. Did I say “hill”? Scratch that. And make it: Hellacious and otherworldly mountain. Or, “beyond category” if you’re into translating French.

Damn. It gets worse: His yellow jersey fell off too. And this after his brother fell off and broke his collarbone on the cobblestones.

The announcers said he was in a “spot of bother.” Schleck said he had “anger in his stomach.”

I slammed the table at the news. I wanted the younger brother to win.

But, then again, I’m not very objective when it comes to younger brothers.

Ride on, Andy. Ride on.
