Don’t worry, he’ll still be on Carlton’s list of possible winners in every race.

I wouldn't exactly say that he's been phoning it in since COVID but he's another rider for whom the pandemic was a career inflection point.

Comes across as knowledgeable and articulate so he'll definitely have a career in cycling beyond riding if he wants it.

Chris Froome still hasn't officially retired, and he does seem to have found a race involving pedaling to get in volved in

Even on a choppy day the parcours is way too flat for him; will probably end up swallowing more seawater than pride. Time to hang up the propeller, Chris.

Someone should tell him he already has British Citizenship so doesn't need to go to those lengths.

Magnus Cort - stage winner in all three GTS - including 6 in the Vuelta and two in the Tour - is to retire at the end of the season

Hopefully there's one last 🚁 before he goes!

I still can't get my head around Hugh Carthy disappearing, I hope he's ok.

I thought he might look to move into coaching, or back room staff for a pro team.
He must have a wealth of knowledge locked away in there.

I can find nothing out there about what he is doing or looking to do - I appreciate he is entitled to his privacy of course.

I worry for Hugh too although I disagree about him moving into management; he always seemed like a loner who wanted to do things his own way.

Hopefully he's just hiding behind a stack of empty butter pie trays rather than anything more sinister. I remember him mentioning that he was building his own house: maybe he's dedicating his time to that these days.

I didn't know he retired!

 

[Dan Lotus]

That sounds positive if he is building his own house, hopefully he earned enough in his time as a pro rider to be able to do that and live comfortably in the interim, until he decides what else he wants to do.

Cathy's win at tdS was mega pogtastic... He attacked pretty much from the gun and time trialed across 3 HC/cat 1 mountains solo.

IIRC Nairo and Yates dueled each other for GC behind. Edit I was wrong it was Egan and Rohan. Dennis ... A white guy and a South American.. half right


Surprised that win isn't mentioned more
