I doubt UAE can make much sense of it too. Jokes aside maybe it was money related. Or something.
it is a weird choice for sure. Tadej has said that he was disappointed and sad about leaving Polanc at home so which team would just ignore their leader’s request?
Polanc is usually his roommate too so he could also be important for Tadej in that way. Just unwinding after a stage, speaking slovenian. His form was quite good too.
I guess Polanc can also start to search a new team since his contract ends…
