Another one bites the dust ….

So disappointing, especially as a potential development route for young riders.

A former workmate of mine had a job with them as a mechanic, he'll be gutted.

Wiggins seems okay with it coming to an end. He reckons that it has just come to a natural conclusion.

a potential development route for young riders.

and has been successful in that respect, with some good results along the way

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Wiggins, all over in a jiffy.

The statement was quite short on details, natural conclusion is just management backtalk. I'm having some very cynical thoughts about this.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I guess they have just failed to secure sponsorship.

Or is there a less dull & prosaic explanation?

Lad from my club was on the team as a rider. He’s good but tbh probably not quite good enough to get picked up by a bigger team. Could be his pro career over before it’s really begun.

Is this his character? Try something then move on when it's does t quite work out?

Or as already said Is it lack of sponsorship?

Just seems s little odd if your fully committed to finally walk away....

Listening to him on the ES podcast he explains his reasons. The stress of finding sponsors every year, needing a lot of extra work and money to move up a level and that he wants to pursue other interests in the sport.
It's a good listen anyway and he and Matt Stephens are both funny and insightful

 

[DCLane]

Seems he's decided to move into a different career alongside it https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/49476727

 

[Adam4868]

Good luck to him,seems to be enjoying himself and in a good place.For me he's brilliant on TV/Eurosport.

 

[Dogtrousers]

He's a bit of a restless soul isn't he. Running his own team ... becoming a rower ... going into social work.

 

[roadrash]

if that's what he wants to do then good luck to him I say,
