Thanks!
You know he's gonna keep mouthing off in the press even after his retirement.
Why does he need to brag about his "big balls"? And why does he need to demonstrate what a buffoon he is each week? I have said it plenty of times before, but I can't wait to his retirement.
Can't believe he came out with that stuff, even for him calling someone "the pinnacle of mental weakness" is OTT, and then adding the completely unnecessary domestic abuse comparison takes it into pretty ugly territory.
"Leaving Bora and moaning to everybody about how he was ‘bullied’ and almost broke and depressed. Only to return fourteen months later. It’s the same as women who still return home after domestic abuse."People should actually read what he wrote instead of reading headlines
Hope Bennet will beat every single DQS sprinter who'll race against him next season Let's see PL's mental state after the 10th consecutive loss against SamCan't believe he came out with that stuff, even for him calling someone "the pinnacle of mental weakness" is OTT, and then adding the completely unnecessary domestic abuse comparison takes it into pretty ugly territory.
I don’t think any have left after a year though after leaving a team before that didn’t give him the leadership and respect he wanted. We have no idea how their relationship deteriorated to this point.Oh behave. Sprinters have come and gone from quick step without an issue. Viviani is apparently desperate to go back. Look at the wonders they have done for cav (a rider who has suffered mental health issues in the past). Yet Bennett seems to be the odd one out. Maybe, just, maybe, Bennett hasn’t behaved all that well towards quickstep this season. It takes two to tango

“I’ve never had mentally unstable riders in my team, but there were definitely ‘special ones’. Rémi Cavagna is not a nervous guy - his hobby is fishing - but sometimes stress gets to him. Some people say that Remco Evenepoel can’t handle a bike, but in the beginning, Rémi was afraid to take a bottle or even raise his hands when he won. It’s all between the ears. Tim Declercq is a really intelligent guy, but he ‘choked’ when he has to ride for himself,” Lefevere wrote.

Thing is Bennett has just being sitting there quietly it's not like there has been an escalating war of words.Man, this is sad to see. I used to defend him, thinking he was mostly a standup guy with some huge character flaws, but maybe it's time he got an official warning. This has got to stop.
