¡Adiós!

Idar Andersen announced on Instagram that he is retiring. I think it was a mistake by Uno-X to not extend with him, but it seems no other (good) teams really wanted him either.

When you choose to retire at that age it just seems there is more to the story than simply not being able to find a new team.

Ben Hermans calls it quits.
People probably will remember him most for saving Belgium in 2015 when he was the only one able to win a spring classic for us that year.

Him describing the news as heartbreaking is a rather poignant choice of words.

Groupama will probably have to elevate someone to the pro team now, by the way, because they were at the minimum number before.

Him describing the news as heartbreaking is a rather poignant choice of words.

Groupama will probably have to elevate someone to the pro team now, by the way, because they were at the minimum number before.

He did not describe the news as 'heartbreaking' or any Dutch synonym involving the word heart, that's Cyclingweekly's translation. So either they need to get an editor actually capable of proofreading or there are some pretty sick people working there.
