Andy Schleck: The Long Road To The Yellow Jersey

Andy Schleck was one of the brightest Tour of France riders of his generation. His battles with Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador, especially in the mountains, kept the Tour alive. He won the race in 2010 and finished second in 2009 and 2011. Before turning 30, Andy hung the bike because of a knee injury remedied at the 2014 Tour de France. How did he manage to come to terms with the premature exit from a sport in which he was so successful? How did he manage to look ahead? Dan Lloyd went to meet him, six years after his retirement, to reflect on his illustrious career, his precore retirement from racing, and how he managed to take new paths.
