  • The world time trial champion abandons the biggest race of the year the day before the only time trial in it because he’s pissed off about equipment he’s been using for at least seven months.

    What would you call it?

  • If you're game on for a race win but your shitty team kit will likely lose you that race, why wouldn't you fuck them off? Maybe he had a strop, maybe they reneged on an agreement to get him what he thought he needed for the win. It's not like his job is sitting in a cubicle typing all day and he's annoyed with the water cooler temperature.

  • The team told him halfway through a stage he can't have disc wheels or whatever tomorrow?

  • He’s a professional cyclist who is paid to ride on the equipment the team gives him. If he’s not happy with that, then don’t sign for the team. It’s not like he was surprised by a change in equipment sponsorship after signing for them, presumably for a lot of money, less than a year ago.
