Good morning, and welcome back to The Leadout. I’m Adam, and as ever, I’m here to attempt to give some insight into the world of professional cycling. I’m currently at the Tour Down Under, so do say hi if you see me about Adelaide, or email me on [email protected] if you have anything to say.
Professional cycling is ruthless. The history of the sport is littered with examples of riders who, for whatever reason, didn’t last in the professional peloton. Perhaps they got injured at the wrong time, maybe they went to the wrong team, maybe illness got in the way. If they happen at the wrong time in someone’s career, it could be terminal, no matter the talent on show.
