It could seem like that but I doubt it,I'm sure I remember reading cricket was one of the sports with the highest mental health problems.I don't think it's the sport of cycling itself,the good thing is when it can be talked about and help found.Hopefully Kittel will rest,get help and be back.Mental health issues seem to be more prevalent in cycling than in other sports it seems. Thinking back to Victoria Pendleton too. And way back to Pantani
too. Lots of cases of fragile mental health in cycling sports. Or maybe it's just hidden more in other sports. They certainly do push their bodies and will power to limits that not many other sports come near. And all the while living off a diet of egg white and rabbit food too. Must be very tough. And these people live to win, and when they don't win so much anymore, it's got to hurt.
