¡Adiós!

Wouter Wippert retires at 29. Would be surprised if he was unable to find a contract somewhere, so maybe his decision?

There's a guy who really benefited from riding in the same team as Boonen.

Niki Terpstra?

Here is a link to Daniele Bennati's Instagram. It sounds like he is retiring.

Peter Stetina leaves WT to ride gravel etc. Glad there's another route available, as it were, for him. He wasn't quite good enough to win at the WT level (and had a bad, bad crash), but if he can put together a living off the road, chapeau!

To be fair, Stetina was becoming a bit of a super domestique before his crash. There were a number of occasions he was climbing almost as well as his team leads.

Yes he is. He wanted to stop after riding a gt in 2020, but his injury was too severe.

Ciao Benna. Cycling will be less interesting without him, at least for the ladies

Cummings retires.

One of the riders I will miss the least.

Really really wanted to like him based on his interviews about being a local Liverpool lad who didn't like the BC/sky way but couldn't warm to him no matter how hard I tried

 

[Chris Gadsden]

Niki Terpstra?

Him too.

Can't say I'm too surprised. Gonna be a bit strange to not see him at the back of the peloton of every race he's in, though.

Well, technically, you would still see him at the back of the peloton of every race he's in...

Not on his bike.

 

[tobydawq]

Not on his bike.

Well, yes, because "every race he's in" is the equivalent of no races - an empty set.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, yes, because "every race he's in" is the equivalent of no races - an empty set.

And if I'd excluded the "he's in" bit, you'd have made some comment about how he wasn't at the back of the peloton in every race.

I do find that quite likely, yes

Sad day to see Stevo leave, but fine memories, such a racecraft there was.

Kristoffer Skjerping has also suffered the same fate as Wippert - retiring because no team offered him a contract
