Andy seems to think he's a TdF specialist now that only needs to train for that race. That and the all important Luxembourg national title (no offense to the Luxembourgers).
What help has Frank needed? Has there been a critical stage that either Frank or Andy really could have done much on. We have 2 minutes over the first like 10 riders and the first real mountain stage with a selection is tomorrow.
Personally, I think the best punishment would be to make then just drive the peleton the whole day. Sort of mean to everyone else in the field but make two guys that partied all night drive a peleton along, seems like a great punishment to me.
