Gesink out of the Vuelta. Family before racing....hope all is well with his wife.
WTF
That was a great pick by 29 of us. He won´t make it to my $hit list, but but... what does a (well payed) pilot or a submarine captain do? I mean they are leaders. People work for them. It´s a highly doubtful decision. He let his teamates down... and OFC us pickers.
Good luck to his wife either way.

After it got awesome, there comes the downer. Let´s see how the standings are without Gesink...
Provisional Rankings after Stage 17 without Gesink
Some are fu..ked pretty hard (Eshnar of all, a true vet, for example), others got away with it because gaining spot points...
Have a look yourself how the shocking abandon of Gesink influenced the standings.
Let´s take it with gallows humor: One more contender dropping out, and Arroyo will finally arrive. I wait for him since ages to get in.
