- The result at the TDF is independent of whether he rides Giro or not. 2nd at the TDF
- I wouldn't write them off for monuments any more than I would write off everyone competing against MVDP and Tadej. These two are the only clear favorites, but, if something happens Quick- Step has as good a chance as anyone.
- look at Remco and Egan. careers cut short if not permanently changed due to offseason crashes on the road. crashes happen, sadly, and being in competition does not make it any more or less likely.
- Makes sense. Finally got the Giro monkey off his back. Got a stage in all three GTs. He's never going to win the Tour, and probably isn't super fussed about fighting the young guns for leadership at other stage races. Why not just go out on a high?
- Everyone begins and ends life the same way. It's what we do in the middle that counts.
- Fact check false: I've crashed indoors before.
- I'm wondering if he's quitting because Visma wouldn't make him their #1 at this year's Giro, which he believed suited him well. As defending champ he deserved his team's backing. After all, he's done a lot for Vingo.
- If they keep sending Paul magnier to smaller races I expect he will bring in another heap of wins
- Have a happy retirement, Simon. Not expecting this ...but well, you're leaving at the pinnacle of your career
- Talented, elegant rider. Enjoy your life, Simon! all the best.
