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.

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.

Except that professional cyclists can have exception clauses in their contracts. It's also not like everything that happens at work is detailed in people's contracts. You've never had a contract for a role that was misrepresented or turns into something else entirely?
