To be honest I'm glad he's leaving. Nothing personal against him but I didn't like him at OPQS. |

BMC will switch to Pearl Izumi as clothing sponsor. No idea if Hincapie´s confession played a role there.

He's only loosely associated with it. It's named after, and run, by his brother. |

That's new then. He must be taking over a role now that he has retired.
In that case yes, it could be part of the reason.
EDIT: Should note he's always owned a piece of it, but his actual work with the company was for a long time "test stuff out."

According to Movistar directeur sportif Javier Garcia Acosta their rider Javier Iriarte has quit cycling because of muscular problems. Always a shame to see athletes having to give in to injury. (Via Velochrono) |

That sucks. Only 27 and having to retire, that's a shame. |
