Andy Schleck

@Bicycler, Family and Life ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This famous Luxembourgian professional cyclist is the ‘2010 Tour de France’ winner and has received the ‘Best Young Rider’ winner thrice Millionaires Sportspersons Cyclists Gemini Celebrities Andy Schleck is a recently-retired Luxembourgian professional cyclist. Regaled as a prodigy in his early career, he was touted as the next great ‘Tour de France’ champion. Recruited directly to one of the top teams in cycling, ‘CSC’, Andy was provided with top-level support, training, and equipment. He quickly lived up to his reputation as a hard worker and solid performer, despite his inexperience and young age. His early career saw a meteoric rise; several best young rider awards and excellent overall finishes in the ‘Grand Tours’ backed up the assertion that Schleck was going places, and fast. After enduring a disheartening defeat while at the top of his game, Andy seemingly lost his form and confidence, leading to a rapid decline in his performance. His previously consistent results went down-hill, and he came to be known more for his injuries than his victories. Schleck was frequently at odds with his team management and the media, leading to a declining fan base and poor team support. At the same time, Andy's brother, also a professional cyclist was embroiled in a dramatic doping scandal. Despite the difficulty, Andy made it through the next few years, hoping to find the form that propelled him so rapidly to the top of the sport. His career never got back on track, leading to a disappointingly early retirement
