He was on our local news last night, saying the collapse of B+B kind of forced his hand but he'd been of a mind to pack it in anyway. At 36, its hardly surprising. Best known perhaps for his win on Huez on the 2011 TdF. A lovely, mild mannered chap with a very respectable career.

And he lives in my own town of Orleans .

Does anyone know yet who the runaway sponsor is and why? Shades of Equipe Paule Ka or TJ Sports.
