He has a release clause of barely €25.000, his stay was never ensured. It was already an immense haul for Kurt to get him to Lotto in the first place. I, for one, am not surprised. The kid is ultrahyper ambitious, maybe even too much.He seems to have folded at the first sign of adversity, after beating everyone all season. Surely there is something else going on here.
I can see him unify the cycling world like no other: everyone is going to hate him. I do not wish it upon him, but I can just see it clear as day.
