Finding this difficult to understand, any comments

Didn't want to get with "the program"

Uh-huh. Probably couldn't face being restricted to a clean domestique supporting riders with less natural talent than him.

 

[FKLance]

People change jobs all the time, right? Can't see anything strange about this!

 

[Animal]

People don't change careers all the time though. He has quit cycling.

 

[L'arriviste]

He's 24. Tried it for a while, didn't like it. I also changed career when I was 24. It was nothing to do with institutionalized doping in market research.

I daresay however that in market research you came across plenty of dopes who should have been institutionalised.

Hooray for baseless speculation.

 

[BJFANC]

Either way, I'd have thought a comment from the rider, would have added value to the article.

The thing is De Lis told Galdeano he was quitting months ago and hasn't been riding since.

- and that means? Sorry, just couldn't figure out what you conclude from that..

That it's no wonder they don't have any statements by De Lis to go with this piece of news.

Always a "good" intention, to place everything into the clinic first.

CLINIC - the lighthouse for the glasshalfempty-users

Euskaltel always seemed like a team that just let riders go off and do what they like rather than have a team-wide program.

 

[Mainerider]

Either way, I'd have thought a comment from the rider, would have added value to the article.

I thought this was a bit weird. If he was merely leaving cycling to pursue another career, say in business or finance, why would that be such a secret ??

The original article in Diaro Vasco is also pretty vague about his reasons - and no quotes from him:

Sergio de Lis ha dejado Euskaltel y el ciclismo profesional
