Remember, this is the same guy whose wife called the carabinieri on him in Italy to keep him away from her and their child. Very sad, really.
She was afraid for her safety and that of their child. This was soon after or right before a suicide attempt he made.nns1400 said:Why??
It was soon before, he did his suicide attempt after his wife left him. I spoke with Frank before Tuesdays team presentation and I didn't see him that relaxed in the last 4 years or so. He had a good winter and is very realistic but he loves the bike...Powerful Pete said:She was afraid for her safety and that of their child.

He is not the most stable person mentally.
A wasted potential on a monumental scale. And, something of a wasted life so far...
Well, let us see. We seem to repeat this thread every year, with Frank's arrival in a new team. Hopefully this year we will see him race. I am not holding my breath, however.cyclingheroes said:It was soon before, he did his suicide attempt after his wife left him.

Maybe we should just have one thread. All we would have to do is post a single "bump" to the thread every January. No other posts would be necessary.Powerful Pete said:Well, let us see.

I have spoken more than once with Frank, at Palmans, at Unibet etc. There is one difference this time he was very realistic and relaxed. He said himself : W'll see if it works out or not (at Unibet he said: I want to win a stage in the Tour this year..)Powerful Pete said:Well, let us see.
