¡Adiós!

I'll never forget that heartbreaking interview he gave after his stage win in Slovenia...

 

[Red Rick]

He basically said he struggles more getting results because he doesn't have the biggest engine, and when you're struggling more and not getting results it's not fun to be up and top professional and give it everything every single day.

Short career but nothing tragic. Young guy still, wants to do something, and leaves after a few years of making good money. Nothing but respect for that.

How time flies... Majka was one of those unsung heroes, terrific rider without much fanfare. Hope he has an enjoyable retirement.

I think with femoral neck they're referring to a fracture in the neck of the femur (very common in the elderly!), not the actual neck neck. I read in a different article that the surgery was successful but he was still painful, and that he wasn't enjoying cycling anymore due to fear of another crash. There just isn't a way you can perform well like that, so, I'm glad his pops understood and is supportive of him nonetheless.
