Had Frank done it I think there's a good chance he could've won the Tour too that year (which would also sort of have been a "fluke"), I think Andy was too far off in the GC already.
The difference is that Schleck would have ended up losing in the TT anyway.

People say 2008 was an off year, but 2011 could end up being sort of similar with no Alberto and most of the other GC guys getting old.
