UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Adam Yates has opened up about his brother Simon's surprising decision to end his career, saying his twin "wasn't feeling it anymore" and that "it's better to stop than to prolong the suffering".
The Yates twins started their professional careers together, joining Orica GreenEdge in 2014 and spending several years racing for the Australian team. Their careers have since diverged, though always remained close, but will now take the biggest step apart as Simon leaves the peloton and Adam continues, with a contract in place with UAE until at least 2028.
