So sad.
Alberto knows there is a world outside cycling and a life after cycling and he is looking forward to enjoying it to the fullest - he'll get to spend more time with his wife, family and dogs, and he'll stay active in cyclingHelloDolly said:I think he may have been ...but now its a done thing

They dont get the same highs, they miss the racing and their team mates ...
Especially of they were very focused on cycling ...

I must point out that there are no statistics regarding how much pros enjoy life after cycling. That was a violation of the real meaning of the word.
