Why in hell would Schleck put himself through the misery that he
witnessed Contador go through this year?

dumbass,

i can't see bruyneel going in 2010 without a rider who can win the
tour.

after armstrong retired bruyneel signed the next best active GT rider
(basso) even though he had a supposed leader in leipheimer.

it's a natural move that he would want to sign the best active GT
rider (andy schleck) that isn't contador.

that seems to be his tactic and then worry about any conflicts if they
arise.

Dumbass,

That's right.

But you're right, he needs to get out of Spain while he's riding the

Getting positive exposure would not be a well thought out plan.

Andy S. is a new rider, having only won Luxembourg in 04, a German 5
stage race and LBL.

He could join the team and be assigned to ride the Giro, or the Vuelta
to 'gain more experience', taking him out of contention for the TdF,
while still benefitting him and the team. Whether it's wise to go from
2nd in the TdF to do a different Grand Tour or not, it's one
possibility.

No, Andy wants the Tour.
