But he's only a youngster isn't he? I though he was Disco's great white hope after Lance retired and before Bertie kicked off?

There must be more to that than meets the eye. A top rider (as in regular tour top ten finisher) coming into his strongest years is chucking it. I smell a ratski.

Just been looking him up on Wikipedia. Blimey, he's got a pretty impressive palmares! 
What the hell is a guy like him doing hanging up his cleats?

Does he own a black cat perchance?rich p said:
I did wonder if there was any connection between being with Disco and doing very well and then performing not so well once he joined a new team....

Is he one of the 14 who are currently dreading the phone ringing. But then he was not exactly on fire in the Tour had that one good day if I remember.

Perhaps he'll fall on his Kalashnikov as a way of not implicating his 'Director of Preparation.'

Regardless of the disco connection, he's still a top rider, and was before disco too. Something defo not right about Yaro.

Well, he says it's not true and he's not retiring. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2008/oct08/oct05news
