All he needs is a short summer break in Chernobyl to be a radioactive again like in 2021

Padun has had a difficult season, until now… He‘s from Ukraine, maybe he‘s worried for relatives, or family, still living there.

I hope Ukraine war ends, and I hope Padun will soon be back to his best shape.

He‘s a classy rider, potentially world-class, and I wish him he‘ll be world-class, soon, again. Likeable guy, great professional rider.

Mark Padun has retired from cycling for unspecified health reasons. A bit of a bummer. Whenever he was the topic in Horners the "Butterfly Effect" it was hugely entertaining.

Hopefully not because he's eaten some of it.

Poor guy, all of that and than also having to live with family and his father fighting on the front lines.

Didn't his parents emigrate to Seattle already before 2022?
You might have gotten him mixed up with Ponomar, his father is fighting on the front lines while his mother and little sister made it to Italy.
