The team and I decided yesterday that I take a leave with an unknown time frame from our beautiful sport.
For too long I feel a big pressure to perform and I feel that I always want to do the best for the team, for all the sponsors, the fans etc. (1/4)
This is for the team
This is for my family
This is for those fans, who never stop believing
This is something I will never forget
Thanks @RichardCarapazM, @INEOSGrenadiers
As most of you, we're concerned by the current situation in the world. It's taken so much effort to restart the season - and we all don't want it to end. Please wear a mask, use it correctly, and keep some distance. Do it for us and the rest of the field. 🙏😷 #TDF2020
