It's very saddening to see one of the greatest British cyclists of all time leave the Tour like this.
I really hope I'm wrong, but I also have a feeling that this is the last we'll see of him in the Tour.

Perhaps that’s why I’m sad, it’s about more than just his tour. His naysayers were strong - as ever - at the start of this tour and I longed for him to win a stage and show them, now that didn’t happen.
He’s had a horrible year with many nasty crashes, one couldn’t blame him for walking away and being with his growing family.

Unless he shows some real form next season no team will want to risk it. A sad end to something absolutely glorious, 30 stage wins just incredible.

Yeah you’re right. I’m just sad.
