Yeah, but when you're "taking a break" after this much success and you've only been pro for a little bit still, that's generally a sign of lack of motivation or succumbing to pressure. Both very bad signs.

He hasn't raced at all since April, and now three months later they publish that statement.
I don't see why we shouldn't believe the wish to take a slower approach to pro cycling, that's rather commendable although not without risk, but I don't think that is the whole story. I still think there might have been some undisclosed event either on a personal level or with the team which started off a situation that ended at this for now.

Probably the death of Chad Young as Strydz said if that is the case.

finishing his career at a stylish retirement home, great to see!
Pineau is looking forward to have Vital Concept as main sponsor...this could well become an upper class PCT team!

Allesandro de Marchi has also been named as a potential signing.

No Vuelta for Dumoulin. He's gonna prepare for the Worlds ITT somewhere else. Probably Kelderman will lead Sunweb now in the Vuelta

Vaughters found a new sponsor
https://slipstream...nces-oath/
Seems like quite a rich sponsor, maybe they'll get more money?

He also has revealed his calendar until Worlds. Dumoulin will ride San Sebastian, BinckBank Tour (former Eneco), and Canadian classics

Cool, now i would give him my wallet, so he would let me go and not kill me, because he looks like the Yugoslavian street killer.

This is awesome news but I don't think people have realised, Oarh are going to be creating a sort of Cervelo, Giant esque movie/short films series of the team with loads of backstage goodies can't wait! |

Landa says he has had the legs to drop everybody. he seems pretty frustrated, with all the What Ifs, a game you can play to infinity basically.

Hope he comes back for it next year. Landa DOUBLE 2018

Landa got legs, but got also more than 2' with a break, in captain role was much harder

This. Landa benefited from being in Froome's support way more than people claim.
